Honolulu is proving incredibly incompetent at building a single rail line as well. Funny to think that we once had a private industrial railroad going around the Big Island and it wasn't even impressive at the time. As land gets increasingly developed and regulated it becomes nearly impossible to build even the simplest infrastructure, even with billions of dollars. https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2017/07/honolulus-rapid-transit-crisis/534150/ https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2017/07/honolulus-rap...

The entire thing is a massive joke on the people of Hawaii. The refusal to audit saying we need to move on and deal with the present screams misuse of funds. Every year they came back saying they needed more money. One of the anti-rail points of them building raised rail out of the west side over completely open land is extremely logical. Why did we spend millions when it could’ve been built on the ground out there? We would not be in the situation now where there are no funds to complete it. Someone had friends in the concrete business. I refuse to be one of the people stuck with that bill and it’s a major reason for me leaving the island as a born here local. It tops the idiocy of the local government.
