I found the last quote of the article “Hotel use of public beaches in contention” (Star-Advertiser, Feb. 10) very disturbing, poorly phrased and exclusionary. Waikiki Beach Services General Manager Chuck Vause said he understands the need for “public beach space for not only our guests but the general public, people in other hotels, even local people that come down this direction as well.” Even local people? They are not only part of the general public, this is their home.
Local people have grown up on, swam at, surfed and cherished all the island beaches for generations. Local people are general public residents who love their home.
