Well, the Ali'i landed at Honolulu Landing, so perhaps that's a better area.
I think that area sunk about 10 feet (subsidence) about 100 years ago or so ago. Many houses (and lives?) were lost. The approach to the ocean changed after that, so It may not be possible to have a landing there anymore.
Twenty, thirty years of "discussion" at Pohoiki. "No can" with the current frame of mind(s) at DLNR, State, and County. Keiki need a place to swim (generations have done it at Pohoiki, which is downright dangerous today), and all the "red tape" is counterproductive. Time for change.
I'd like to make changes now while still alive to see it happen. (Still get rose colored glasses on. [
