Manahan is the type of person who got us into his mess to begin with. We the people do not want RAIL and for transportation we had the nations best BUS service until they started cutting the routes and using the money for the BOONDOGGLE RAIL.  Its useless in its present design and route and will be a drain on Hawaii's people for the next 20+ years. Think about it, 50 foot high elevated over 5 miles of empty farm land  and starts 2 miles short of present day Kapolei & 10-20 miles short of the Nanakuli- Makaha coast. This means the residents have to drive, walk or take a Bus to get to and from the RAIL stations and unless they work directly on the line will have to drive, walk or take a bus to 
get to where they need to be. It absolutely does not help the people in Ewa Beach, same problem as above. How about Kailua, Kaneohe, Hawaii Kai, Manoa, etc. etc. etc. So how may affordable housing areas are now along its routes-- NONE-- How many developers opted to just pay TO NOT BUILD AFFORDABLE
