Should there be additional restrictions on development in Kakaako? Why?
There should be none at all. Kamehameha Schools for example, can, has, and will do a better job at preserving the future than the government ever could. I’m not concerned with people who want to block progress because that is all they ever do.
What is your one big idea?
We must enable Internet voting. Votes could be counted in real time and monitored by the public. Registered voters could also sign online petitions for ballot initiatives, allowing us to vote directly on issues rather than relying on the legislature. This would vastly increase voter turnout, especially among the youth.
