DaKine,
Please be a little more honest with cutting and pasting my post. After my "but" was not an absolute demand that this not happen, but instead a plea for understanding why some of us are really concerned and cautious about what we will end up with since HDOT and the Hawaii county planning people have the track record they have. I also asked that people not call the affected people names like NIMBY as an insulting label. This sort of project can really destroy neighborhoods that get it literally bulldozed through their homes, would it really hurt people to show a little understanding for that fact?
I do find it interesting that you are all sympathy for HOTPE's situation but selectively cut and paste my post to change my meaning, when he and I are in exactly the same place. This is going to fundamentally change whole neighborhoods in real ways, recognizing that fact is the first step to minimizing the damage, instead the people most impacted are being accused of being obstructionist for just pointing out the damage that will be done. Are we supposed to just roll over and pretend we are unaffected?
