I think EVERYONE is missing the point here.
Look at it a little bit closer, no one on the ocean side (America) is complaining. Many people on the road side (Mexico) are complaining. They are losing a free view (Pass, coyote, what have you) that at one point was unobstructed.
Now they’ll simply have to follow the law as written, in Hawaii’s case to put a boat in at a public access and travel to Zucks beach to enjoy the view.
Completely rational to me.
Good on you Mark. I see a bright future for you and Donald since you both have the same view on walls.
I am part Hawaiian and moved to the mainland . What I see happening is the elitists buying up all the property in Hawaii, and people like you and me lose what living in a nice place should be.
It shows a great insensitivity to the local population.
I have been reflecting a lot about this in the last few days. It seems to me that the .01% is horning in on places that middle class people used to live. In the old days, they resided in their enclaves, and we never saw them. Now, they are taking away things we hold dear.
There is a marina near my home that my husband and I love, and visit all the time. When we were there last, a 150 foot super yacht was there. This yacht took about 3/4 of the guest dock space for one rich dude- who looked a lot like Bill Gates father. It took a lot of maneuvering to get our boat past this one. One boat took the space of 4-5 boats. A place where middle class people moor their boats. I am afraid the super rich are going to take over this marina, pushing the rest of us out.
I don’t mind the rich and their wealth. But when their overconsumption affects my lifestyle( and other people like me) just like Zuckerberg is doing in Kauai, then it is an issue.
