I'd like to remind the good reverend that Oahu voters never voted for "transportation equality".  The vote allowed the city to build a system that utilizes a steel when on steel rail system that was to cost $3.4 billion dollars.  There was also never any indication that a yes vote meant building more houses on Oahu.  
Please stop trying to make like building rail is a good thing.  It already costs 3X what it was told to the people.  Won't do anything to help with traffic, and still has no final cost, not to mention how O&M will be funded.  This is nothing but a black hole that needs to have it's plug pulled.
