Didn’t rail’s opponents say the economic slump would last forever and doom the project? “Look around! We can’t afford it!” they’ve been shouting for months.
What happened? What happened is what always happens. The economy is turning around in a cycle that’s as sure to happen as the tides. That’s the way it’s always been and always will be.
The latest news: Oahu hotels will see a healthy 7.2-percent increase in revenue per available room this year, according to a new forecast by PFK Hospitality Research.
The hyper-active opponents will be creative in spinning this, of course, and we’ll all do well to ignore them.
Posts mostly ended in 2012 when the author left Hawaii. Yes2Rail contains hundreds of posts refuting the opposition’s ongoing campaign (see "aggregation site" in red graf below). BTW, dissecting political candidates' flawed/missing transit plans was not "attacking the candidate," as then-City Council member Tulsi Gabbard asserted. Yes2Rail – a reservoir of rail facts -- never attacked anybody. Mahalo for the positive comments Yes2Rail received over the years.
