Victor, Thanks for this 'column'!  Of course there is only one problem with this report. It is too short.  There is so much more 'going on out there'. 
But nothing going on in Hawaii other than the "Grapes of Wrath" responses we hear about on the news.  
As Edmund Burke said, "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."  [In Hawai'i's case, the bad men are those whose covetousness blinds them to the unfairness of zoning and the need for regulating the housing market.
