Target doesn't belong in Kailua
It is not too late for Target to acknowledge that Kailua is unsuitable for a big-box store.
Target's Kona, Salt Lake and Kapolei stores are successful because they are sited on the outskirts of towns, near highways where size, aesthetics and traffic are not a problem for residents. But Kailua is not Kapolei. Residents and tourists familiar with Kailua know that planting a 130,000-square-foot store in its heart will undermine the pedestrian-friendly interaction Kailua is working hard to preserve.
