What is "affordable"?
« on: August 16, 2024, 06:11:08 AM »
Our delusional out-of-touch politicians throw around "affordable" too much that it doesn't mean anything anymore. Affordable housing. Affordable rail?

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - City rail officials are breathing a sigh of relief after opening the bid for the final three miles of the Honolulu Skyline.

The bid is low enough to get the rail to Kakaako without exceeding the current budget.

The bid came in almost $400 million higher than expected, but rail CEO Lori Kahikina and Mayor Rick Blangiardi said it’s still affordable.

“Well, this is a big piece of it. This is going to take us home,” Blangiardi said.

“Obviously it came in a little bit higher, but we still feel confident that we can afford this project,” Kahikina said.

$400 million more than expected, for a Rail System hardly anybody will ride.

Rick and Lori knows hawaii's citizens will bend over when the time comes to cough up more.
