anti development efforts makes sense in many places, preserving the land. The anti-tourist thing though never made any sense to me. Go drive around Kona or Kohala, then drive around literally any other part of the island. You'll see a huge difference, because Kona is the main tourist spot, so funds are constantly sent there to keep it shiny. Without the tourists, what would Hawai'i's economy be based upon, what's the alternative? Anti development kind of painted everyone on the island into a corner tourism-wise, as there isn't any industry for any other commercial enterprise available that could provide the same income.
I don't like to trot this out because it's what people talk about when they are super high, but lets be real. Imagine if cannabis were legal to just be grown here in Hawai'i. We'd no longer be almost totally dependent on tourism, our crops could make enough money to supplement the tourist income. Plus, it's Hawai'i, the kind of tourists that tend to visit here are also tourists that tend to be willing to at least try cannabis, especially if it's legal. Basically what I'm saying is that legalizing cannabis would not only make Hawai'i no longer what, 90, 80% dependent on tourism, it would also boost tourism itself.
