You sound a little like Shapiro who can't get his facts right either...

How much are luxury condos and hotels worth if not worth billions? 

Yes let us have luxury condos but only with affordable housing. Investors are coming out of the woodwork in funding these projects. And indeed lets not keep tourism bottled up in Waikiki. Tourism needs to grow as Hawaii grows. It's our greatest asset. Let's extend out to Sand Island.

And what happens if we do nothing about rail and develop all over the island to spread out traffic congestion? This is called urban sprawl. It can lose our attraction to tourists, degrade our environment and way of life. How many billions will it cost us to do nothing?

These are not lies and your claims that they are is a lie itself. Yes we need to decide for the future of our children and grandchildren. We need to build more housing and we need better mass transit system in a more urbanized Honolulu.
