Carroll talks with Choon James and KC Connors about the Envision Laie Development Plan.  Is it too big?  Too political?

Mega-development is in the works with new homes, a big Mariott Hotel planned next door to the Polynesian Cultural Center, and expansion at Turtle Bay.  The Polynesian Culture Center has lost its local vision, becoming an amusement park staffed by students from China and the mainland, with cheap crafts made in Asia.  

Yes, a hotel is needed, and wanted, but not on the scale Mariott is envisioning.  Development is good, but massive development will damage both the tourist and film industry, destroying the vision of Hawaii both tourists and locals are looking for.

Is this what we really want?
