Big business rules in Kailua
I am sadly disappointed in the relationship between Kaneohe Ranch and Kailua residents who supported the Koolaupoko Sustainable Communities Plan.
The plan was initiated to give people a voice as to the type of community they envisioned. It was the hope of the majority who participated in the survey to keep Kailua a community beach town. The vision included supporting local businesses, creating pedestrian/bike-friendly walkways and no big-box stores. Kaneohe Ranch once shared this vision.
Unfortunately, big business now rules at Kaneohe Ranch. Target and Whole Foods are not the bad guys here; it is Kaneohe Ranch that has disappointed the residents of Kailua by deciding upon itself what is best for Kailua.
