The issue is what to do with the old condo developments prior to the regulatory sprinkler requirement.  Does this compare to history's manageable traffic that has since become today's insoluble gridlock?  Similarly, hardly all buildings have the sprinklers problem.  Only old buildings.  To compare, not all of Oahu suffers Ewa's commute from hell.  Just Ewa side.  Govt required that we pay for Rail whether we like it or not.  So, in the "public spirit" of Rail, pass a law requiring every old condo building to install sprinklers.  Better yet --  because all of O'ahu and soon, the entire State, will pay for Ewa's Rail, in the "Spirit of Rail," require that every other condo highrise on O'ahu also chip in to pay for sprinklers in the older buildings.  Come on you Politicians.  Easy for solve the taxing problem.  You just have to be consistent for enacting the "Spirit of Sprinkling."
