It's funny that as we age our criticisms on youthful behavior "mature," often reflecting nothing like our own nostalgic character back-in-the-day. What's the real issue behind how our local society ends up like this?  This result is the begging for tourism, development, and commerce.  BIG business benefits.  Token local businesses get to survive on handouts.  "Cultural" Hawaiians get to market.  The unions benefit,..and the rainbow for Rail and other political machinations possible where keeping taxpayers as "mushrooms"...you know, in the dark and "fertilized."  The spinoff of this self-feeding cycle is the "Waikiki Flotilla" and more,.. like the rail flotilla, the kunia development flotilla, the kakaako urban sprawl flotilla, the Ala Moana Shopping Center flotilla, and other 'scratch-da-head-howcum flotillas in Honolulu that frustrate everybody, especially neighbor islands .
