I'm not sure which “locals” you mean, but I'd be willing to bet that out here on the Waianae Coast, the “locals” would pretty much vote to be just left alone to provide for their families as best they can, enjoy the area for its recuperative powers, while resting from their weekday commute, pray they can still find a bit of sand and/or surf on their once uncrowded beaches, and hope like heck that gentrification doesn't find its way, way out here, so they can continue to afford living where they choose.
