My friend Dennis has come up with a article that, hopefully, will start toning down the noise out there about the current state of the rail system. If I could simply add to Dennis's premise here - I have continually believed that the rail system, with redevelopment throughout the line from Kapolei to Ala Moana, will eventually bring a windfall in the form of increased property taxes to the City regardless of re-designating certain areas as TOD, and appraising them differently than the rest of the land bank of Honolulu.
