So having WalMart Supercenters are now part of "for the public good?"
Plans like these are very annoying. Begs the question, "Why aren't they using the DHHL to build houses for Hawaiians like how they (state and federal gov'ts) do on O'ahu for the military or like how they are using DHHL for a WalMart that already exists:

There are 2,721 outstanding claims that range from people who argue they were given deficient land to those who believe they've been on the waiting list for an unreasonable amount of time, said plaintiffs' attorney Carl Varady. It's unclear when the claims will be presented in court, but lawyers say the state should cooperate, noting that some beneficiaries have been waiting up to 40 years for an answer.

Title held in trust for Hawaiians:
"the Office of Hawaiian Affairs shall hold title to all the real and personal property now or hereafter set aside or conveyed to it which shall be held in trust for native Hawaiians and Hawaiians."

Contruction for a WalMart or for military housing: One or two years
Construction of a home for a Hawaiian: 30 to 40 years... sometimes more (person dies while on the waiting list)
Where is the fairness?
