Several years ago incorporation was suggested as one way to deal with HPP's problems, but it was found that Hawaii law would require an enabling act from the state legislature for this to happen. I think Faye Hanohano even introduced a bill, but it got nowhere because Oahu legislators were afraid places like Kapolei and Kaneohe would also try to form municipalities of their own, upsetting the power structure there. And leilanidude makes a good point, i.e., "Watch out what you wish for."
