Comment: Note:  the costs of construction through Kapolei (open fields), and through Waipahu and Pearl City (a straight shot down Kamehameha with only little, mom and pop landowners to contend with) was VASTLY underestimated.  The land along the rail line hasn't even been fully dug up, and historical logic tells us that life in old Honolulu more than likely involved the internment of loved ones (Iwi) BEFORE the urban sprawl of Honolulu took place.  This is going to be a mess and WAY more expensive than $10 billion.  The back and forth tennis game being played by the politicians now is simply shortsighted and designed to pull the wool over the public's eyes.  This is going to be a way bigger mess than it already is.  Stop construction.  Set a cost ceiling.  Guarantee the financing, or just shut the thing down!
