There's really no better alternative for this rock. Americans are going to have to get the small yard and white picket fence mentality out of their heads and resign themselves to the 38th floor 800sq ft 2 br unit with one parking space as jobs get more and more urban centric.

Ewa should have been a plain of massive cluster/communities of 50 story high rises if government geniuses actually ever thought some sort of "mass transit" rail system were to work. 

As it is now, it's TOO LATE. The current RAILFAIL plan doesn't even come close and has already been assessed as NOT going to make a dent in traffic. Why? Because everyone wants their little cracker box "house" with 2 car garage and extra street parking and new spread developments like Hoopili just add to the spread and MORE CARS. Think ANY of these people will drive to a place to park and then use a train only to get to a transit center and have to wait around for a bus? 

Yeah, I didn't think so and STOP LAUGHING!
