I have such a hard time understanding how a 12-lane freeway is a thing of beauty, but an elevated rail system is an eyesore and degrades the island's charm.  Not to mention the millions of tons of CO2 that you can't see but that vehicles continue to pump into the atmosphere.  I get that Hawaii is not a non-attainment area from an air quality perspective, but let's get real about mobility.  Oahu won't be able to absorb all of the planned growth and still rely on just vehicle travel to move residents, employees, and visitors around.  Folks need to understand that with increased density comes the need for attractive and convenient mobility options including transit, bike lanes and better sidewalks.
