We are upset with monster homes destroying neighborhoods in numerous ways. Now there’s talk of a monster high-rise at 2601 Kapiolani Blvd. (“State board OKs Moiliili tower,” Star-Advertiser, Oct. 14).
In order to build it, 141 of the existing affordable homes in the area would be bulldozed. The area is congested already with three schools, high-rise and walk-up apartments, condos and single-family homes. The monster high- rise will block tradewinds coming over the Koolau and turn makai homes into ovens. Please consider the quality of life for this neighborhood.
