Snorkle - not sure you do understand. That money the observatories spend to support UH observations is used for education of STEM subjects. Without it, the UH would have to find that money from elsewhere, possibly the students. However, the point is the observatories have a large rent/lease cost and if if that to be changed so it goes elsewhere, how does the UH keep its physics, maths and astronomy courses funded? Double rent isn't going to go down well with the observatories, and I don't see other more destructive industries on the island having to pay double rent.
If you want to change things, then talk to UH.
