That is what I was trying to say, in my clumsy way. Each of those Cranes doing the pile driving, and Erecting the condo, should have names, regular or Hawaiian. Since they are making homes for residents.
Just like the Big Rigs on the Mainland. The long haul truckers, some of them have names for there trucks.

Why are some of you assuming the cranes don't have a Hawaiian name? I'd bet they mostly do.

For every high end $1M two bdrm condo in the urban core, there are 10-15 old cheapo ones that hit the market; these drag the median value way down. There are also a lot of condos outside of the pricey urban core. Remember, townhomes are still considered condos and there are tons and tons of those spread across the island and mixed in with SFHs, particularly west and central Oahu where housing is much cheaper.

They had better put some of that 7.4 billion back into infrastructure, cause currently we can't handle it.

Hey wait, im confused i thought there was no infrastructure issues on the island of oahu? Some hawaii experts who lkeep reminding me that they live currently on oahu and i don't tell me that when the streets flood or sewers back up like in kakaako for example they do so with rain because every city does etc? Oh my oh my what is the truth?

If you lived here then you would know that the Kakaako sewer systems have been renovated or replaced in order to accommodate the new high rises.

*hickup* ok den.

"Greed and poor planning takes precedence over everything in Hawaii.* Like the Ala Wai canal, it is just another big natural disaster in the making as the development of Kakaako gets underway."

More Flooding in Kakaako's Future > Hawaii Free Press

"Right now there is a RACE to see how fast all the future swamp land of Kakaako can be quickly sold and developed before the mainland and foreign real estate investors find out they will be STUCK with enormous future expenses as the Karst get’s shattered, the land subsides, and the water rises."

Pg 2/2

"When people want to sue the city, they will have the 2012 Act 286 to support their cases . That law states that county plans must study the impacts of climate change and ways to protect the people from them. Passing development plans and sustainability plans at this time, when the scientific studies on groundwater inundation have already been published, and news-media articles on groundwater-rise have warned the council against doing so, invites lawsuits. It is irresponsible, and actually, a crime against the people."
