text: There is advantage in having such a brilliant and creative mayor who can define "emergency" using an intuitive bridge of "high risk component."  Here, taxpayers are made to pay for private properties' "sprinkler improvements" that will have myriads of even greater associated "satellite renovation" attached.  So, why not get more creative?  Demolish all Honolulu's pre-1974 75-foot-plus condo highrises and replace them with even denser structures of units entirely for affordable and homeless tax programs.  This mayoral policy of the "greater good" creatively extends the city's viability with a comparatively fewer being sacrificed.  Historically, the City condemned private royal trust lands for private owners.  With this precedent, why not now condemn condo buildings for the greater good?   Homeless and affordable housing issues are high risk components and so must be as great emergencies for the city as sprinklers are for private condo owners.   You go Mr. Mayor!
