Plenty of much larger counties with both more and less people.
(Hawaii County is 5087 square miles)

Keeping it one county would be best, then lower level municipality's have different functions.like police and things would stay at the county level but the villages could have there own zoning and provide additional services their residents want and will pay for.
One idea to get it past the senate is to shift authority to cerate municipality's to the county's then Honolulu could still keep control of Oahu and the neighbor island could do whats best for them

As I see it, as long as we continue to vote in the same people, decade in and out, State, County, Fed, status quo will rule.
Start looking at some new faces, new ideas. Whether you vote for Loren Baker, James, or Barbara, let's look to fresh faces and new ideas.
As we all know, one definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over, and expect a different outcome.
