Some interesting parts of the article for me are mentioned below :
"Specifically, we need a new approach to the Land Use Law of 1959, a
renewed long-range commitment to agriculture, a clearer understanding
of what “rural” zoning means, a deeper commitment to the relationship
between water and land use, and a more vigorous preservation of
conservation districts, watersheds, forests and cultural sites."
"We need to again ask ourselves, what do we love about Hawaii? What
must we pass on to our children and grandchildren? With the public
more obviously asking such questions, I personally no longer feel
like a voice of days past, but rather one of many voices calling out
for more careful attention to the future."
I frankly couldn't have said it any better frankly. These issues the former
governor raises, really need to be discussed by all residents of this state.
If we choose to ignore it, we can only blame ourselves if we continue to
pave over paradise.
