Re Kathleen Elliott, So the tourists "stole" Waikiki? I don't like high-end condo-lined beaches either but there are few industries as big in Hawaii as the visitor industry. Take away tourist spending and there won't be much left to spend on all those wonderful programs our fearless democratic leaders have started. Our agriculture is dying off to the developers and Obama pretty much decimated the military. You want to try to stay here if tourism goes away be my guest. The idea of a "locals only" beach is abhorrent to me - a throwback to the segregated south of early childhood.
