            <title>Drawdown in Afghanistan means more soldiers buying Oahu real estate</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
The President announced this week that 10,000 troops will return home from Afghanistan by the end of this year,
 and another 23,000 by the end of next summer, a drawdown of the 
30,000-troop surge he ordered to fight there in 2009.&nbsp;&nbsp;

So 30,000 troops will return home from Afghanistan by next year, and that means that thousands of those soldiers from Schofield Army Barracks, Pearl/Hickam, and Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps Base will be returning to Hawaii.&nbsp; And since there is already a wait list... ]]> </description>

            <title>New freeway offramp in Kapolei/Makakilo</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Earlier this week I drove by the new H1 freeway exit in Kapolei. I didn't think they were going to open that for a couple more months, but it is now open.&nbsp; It allows people in Kapolei to get off earlier and releives some of the congestion at Fort Barrett.&nbsp; 

That's more good news for the West side, even as traffic in Ewa Beach is also moving much faster.&nbsp; Now if we can just keep&nbsp;the new construction to a minimum, there won't be as much new traffic in the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;&amp;... ]]> </description>

            <title>Dr Horton / Schuler Homes' project at Hoopili will ruin west Oahu.</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
I hope I got your attention with that headline. Recently there has been a lot of talk about Dr Horton/Schuler's plans to build 12,000-15,000 more homes on the farmland between Ewa and Kapolei. 

Their website says, &quot;Ho'opili... is a master planned community that will connect Ewa Beach, Waipahu, Makakilo &amp; Kapolei. Currently in the planning stages, Ho'opili will feature a mix of affordable &amp; market rate homes with approximately 10,000 to 15,000 homes planned. This master planned com... ]]> </description>

            <title>There is NO MORE TRAFFIC in Ewa Beach</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
I confirmed it again yesterday by driving to Ewa beach at 4pm. There is no more traffic there. The drive down Ft Weaver, which used to make me want to gouge out my eyes, is now a pleasant drive going about 35 mph the whole way.&nbsp; 

I have posted about this before but yesterday as I was driving back to my home on the East Side, I realized that the lack of traffic is now going to make the values in Ewa level out with the homes in Royal Kunia, Westloch, Makakilo,&nbsp;and Kapolei.&nbsp;

            <title>Disney luxury resort Ko Olina to open in 2011</title>

The Disney resort is expected to open in 2011 and provide 1,000 jobs.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are no plans for a theme park, too bad.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ko Olina master developer Jeff Stone said, &quot;it's a dream come true.&quot;

It will actually increase public access to the beaches at Ko Olina becayse this development will add parking.&nbsp; There is hardly any parking at&nbsp;all over there.&nbsp; This development should help in the larger plan of nurturing Kapolei as a secondary urban center, helping t... ]]> </description>

            <title>My alternative to Rail in Honolulu</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
I have some ideas that I think would be a great alternative to rail or any other changes to the traffic problem. Since the city is collecting millions of dollars with the extra 0.5% GET for rail, why not use that money in these ways that would greatly reduce traffic and save our city billions of dollars by not building rail or new freeways.&nbsp; Besides, we're never going to have enough money to fund the rail system anyway. 

So here are my ideas, and the dollar amounts are just examples:
