The two recent front-page stories couldn’t be a better example of opposite ends of the spectrum of life in Hawaii right now (“ACLU sues over sweeps,” “Developer renews plans to expand subdivision below Koko Crater,” Star- Advertiser, July 27).

If there ever was a time to figure out how to balance our plans on how to live together in this beautiful, special place, it’s now.
