The Mayor & the City Council, have not learned very much, from all of the RAIL shortcomings.

The political issues, that were raised as a result of the RAIL, will continue into the next big project.

Raising the parking meter fees, is one example.  There was once a time, during my lifetime, when the fee for a parking meter, for one hour, was only a dime.

It was originally directed towards the Honolulu business districts, to stop people from monopolizing parking spaces, all day long.

When people couldn't park nicely, marked or painted parking stalls were created.

Now, the parking fees will be raised.  The fees will never go down and the parking meters will never be removed.

Hawaii's overpopulation and smaller land space, will only get worse.

When Oahu finally supports 2 million people, will be the day when Hawaii's infrastructure will totally collapse.

All it will take, is one mega, natural or man made disaster.
