Aunty loves to see the ocean, mountains, sky, trees, and wonderful old buildings with character. What do you love?
If you love those modern buildings made of mirrored glass popping up higher and denser, then good for you – because that is what the developers are building, with the blessing of our city council, mayor, and departments.
If you don’t like them and want a rather easy way to say so, then please fill out an online survey that the Department of Planning and Permitting is conducting for the island of Oahu – called the Honolulu Public Views Study. They are collecting this information until this Friday, May 31, so time is of the essence. Survey extended to June 15, 2019, hurray!

Maybe this will help us keep our island saner and safer from the skyscrapers that threaten to turn us into a metropolitan concrete and glass corridor. Maybe, or maybe not. At the very least, we get heard.
Thanks Aunty. I just completed the survey.
Great! Thank you!
I will do this! Oahu is totally over crowded with tall glass buildings and monster homes.
Yes!
I don’t think the mayor or council will listen to us. They listen to the developers.
Done! Thank you for sharing this survey.
Izsmom
Thank you for taking it, Izsmom! I wish more people knew about it and took it like you.
Mahalo for posting & giving me the opportunity to respond to the survey. I hope that the City Council & the Planning Commission will read these comments & consider how many of us feel about overbuilding, especially in the Ala Moana area which has become a hideous concrete jungle with traffic, congestion, overcrowding, crime, loss of the Aloha spirit. In my survey I ended with a plea to those who can make a difference, please think & enact PRESERVATION, NOT DEVASTATION!
Aunty, I will work on your campaign should you consider running for City Council, what about next year?
Tutu
Mahalo for taking the survey, and I 100% agree with you about Ala Moana. Devastation.
Thank you, Tutu, but there will be NO campaigning for me – I would not be able to handle the issues. I actually give the City Council people a lot of credit because they meet all year round (unlike the State legislators) and have to tackle more of the people issues. I don’t necessarily like how they vote because they do not have a vision for what Hawaii needs to maintain and the loudest voice in the room gets their attention. Very tough job.
