here we go again. pay now or pay much more later. google houston flood and almost all the posts are, should have done, could have done, must do before the next one and etc., etc.  pay a couple billion now to fix sand island, not only the sewage treatment plant but all the toxic storage facilities, gas and oil tanks, recycling center junk and on and on, or pay hundreds of billions if all that stuff gets loose in our waters. iniki cost $2B ($3.5B today) in property damage alone. let's get real. the rich get richer off of hawaii's people but dont expect them to help if things go south. that's where they will jet off to until we rebuild. get the money now, fix things that need fixing before we all have to move.
