Should there be additional restrictions on development in Kakaako? Why?
Every thriving community needs balance. So it’s very important that the needs of the community are aligned with the desires of the developers. Uncertain if additional restrictions are the answer, however I strongly support a thorough review of the Hawaii Community Development Authority.
What is your one big idea?
My BIG idea is to establishing an academy including housing where students will determine their purpose and their future. They will be given the tools needed to succeed beyond high school and into their future. Participant standards will be very high and the demand for admission extremely competitive.
