Aloha Anthony, I was with you when you said that development should be concentrated in the PUC, and when you said that you opposed Koa Ridge and Hoopili, and when you said the Honouliuli farmland should have been left alone, and when you said that suburban sprawl should be stopped.  However, you lost me when you said you supported rail because TOD would be primarily focused in Iwilei, Kapalama, and Kalihi.  Perhaps that was the initial concept, but Bill 15, which was just passed on second reading by the Honolulu City Council, encourages TOD along the entire rail line.  The increase in housing in TOD on the Ewa end of the rail line will increase traffic during rush hour along the H-1 corridor.  Although some of the new residents out there will take the rail to work in town, many will take their cars.  In my opinion, rail and the affiliated TOD are being controlled by big moneyed interests to boost their profitability, without regard for the public good.
