Today’s headline has to do with traffic on Oahu. According to those who know such things, study such things, and to those of us who just watch and figure it out on our own, no matter what happens, traffic is going to get worse.
Honolulu’s city and county government plan to spend up to $5-billion for a fixed rail system that, according to everyone with an opinion who is not a politician being directed by unseen evil commercial influences (the kind that always seem to be unseen but influence politicians to ignore what everyone else can so, but whose votes don’t really count), won’t improve traffic.
Traffic is going to get worse.
Let me repeat that. Traffic on Oahu is going to get worse. Even the experts say that traffic on Oahu is going to get worse in the coming decade even if there’s a $5-billion fixed rail system in place.
Did you ask the same question as me?
It’s like Hillary Clinton having a personal conversation with God. “God,” Hillary asks, “Am I going to be President?”
And God answers, “Of course not.” To which Hillary replies, “Well, Lord, do I still need to run for President and spend $150-million dollars and wear myself to a frazzle and embarrass myself and tarnish my already tainted reputation?”
To which God says to Hillary, “Do it anyway. It’ll be fun.”
God must know how much fun it will be to soak Honolulu’s taxpayers, have politicians spend billions of dollars on an expensive, complex fixed rail system which will cause untold disruption of lives, property and business from Waikiki to Kapolei, all so Oahu’s traffic will only get worse.
