4. Kudos Mahina for perspective I never considered...

As an expat, Airbnb has always given us the opportunity to stay (lodge) in the communities where we grew up and/or raised our families when we visit. But, I admit, that's a very selfish and short-sighted perspective when compared to Mahina's wisdom on a bigger problem for residents who live in these neighborhoods.

It makes me sad, but I get it.

And, mahalo, Mahina, for looking after those dumb tourists on bikes, risking their lives trying to get to Lanikai! The Kailua boat ramp was the "backyard" beach of my youth. Always thought that a biking adventure along that steep hill to Lanikai was an accident waiting to happen! Seeing as how you can't fix stupid, perhaps it's time for speed bumps to slow the cars down at least?
