text: In a city like Honolulu, that changes ever so slowly, some of the most significant and quickest changes have come recently with Kakaako development that caters to the rich.  Similar to tourism, where money and new development caters to the tourists.  Yet, locals are being forgotten.  A few blocks away from the fancy areas you see rundown, outdated buildings and homes.  Outside the touristy, expensive or new areas, the city looks old and rough, including infrastructure and public areas.  The State is welcoming to Big Money, but locals see little benefit.  Friends working good professional jobs are underpaid and can't get ahead.  They continue to live with their parents or rent, with no hope of owning a home.  Yet non-locals continue to arrive, slowly eroding our local culture, and tourism runs rampant, affecting locals everyday quality of life.  Things must change, the future doesn't look great for Hawaii.
