“I don’t know what it’s going to take for apartment owners as well as associations to see the value of human life,”  Sen. Glenn Wakai

there are posters on this forum who regularly advocate speeding/driving above the posted speed limit,  ignoring the role speed plays in killing an average of three people a month.

high rise apartment fires have rarely resulted in death. yet, the media and grandstanders in government want to mandate fire suppressant systems that will cost individual apartment owners $10K or more to install.

if the media and grandstanding politicians can't get drivers in hawaii to obey posted speed limits, a simple  zero cost action that would cut traffic deaths by at least a third, how can they mandate apartment owners to retrofit high rises with fire suppressant systems at the cost of several thousands of dollars per unit?

is the value of a life lost in a speeding car less than the value of a life lost in an apartment fire?
