Developments in Honolulu has happened WITHOUT rail transit. 

Even so, all these exceptions in land use ordinances can happen by creating a "special district" without imposing the outdated and fiscally out-of-control Honolulu Rail on Oahu's future generations .

Remember all these development can happen along the entire 21-square miles of the Honolulu Rail CORRIDOR.

It's a little wonder why Mayor Kirk Caldwell and his gang are fighting tooth-and-nail for the Honolulu Rail. It's about TOD - Transit Oriented Development.
