More, spend, build, ignore, waste. Our disposable society has reached insane proportions.
I am in total agreement with Earl Arakaki (“Blangiardi should fix Waikiki Natatorium,” Star-Advertiser, Letters, April 21).
The Waikiki Natatorium is just one glaring example. It was built as a memorial and would be grand if at least the facade was preserved and the operational showers and bathrooms open to the public were upgraded.
How many thousands (millions?) of dollars are being spent to destroy the beautiful green lawn fronting Kaimana Beach to build what the Natatorium already offers? Any public input? Why can’t we decide how our money is spent?
Our legislators and City Council members are wasteful and reckless with spending.
Instead of allowing the obscene building blight on our beautiful island, let’s protect and enhance what we already have, restore and preserve.
Build rail, build a new stadium, give blatantly obscene raises? So many disgraceful decisions being made.
