BEST PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU SHOULD FEAR
Makena Resort
This one was easy, even for you people. What’s not to fear about putting a massive resort with a bunch of homes and big-ass golf course just across the street from Makena Beach? I mean, sure it’s all serene and wooded in there now, but hey—Maui’s developing! People don’t want remote beaches, they want swimming pool bars, waterslides, activities kiosks and guys walking around in polo shirts asking if you’d like another Mai Tai. Now that’s Maui, and soon, it will be Makena, too. That is, if the Maui County Council bows to the mighty Seibu Railway Corporation of Tokyo, which owns the land across the beach. Surprisingly, Maui Weekly—half of which is owned by Everett Dowling, who’s made no secret of his intentions to get into the Makena development action—hasn’t written any pro-resort articles and editorials in a while. Don’t let that lull you into complacency! [AP]
