Oahu taxes the poo poo out of everyone but the roads are still bad enough to trip the G Sensor on my dash cam because it thinks we flew off a cliff or something. We don't have winter. Wtf.
It's a bit harder to repair infrastructure here due to the fact that only three roads go anywhere and they are all way above capacity. Can't shut down lanes and there are no detours so the patches get put on patches forever.
That and they started a light rail project that is comically mismanaged and so full of graft they don't even know how much has been spent on it and the feds are 99% of the way to clawing back their grants.
The problem in Hawaii is that there is no opposition party with even a miniscule chance of winning anything so the Democrats can be as lovely as they want.
Combine that with a remote location and small town political philosophy where everyone's cousin is in a position of some sort and it's keystone cops levels of dumb but scaled up to a major city size.
Strangely, Hawaii island has great roads and built a baller rear end highway across Mauna Kea with 60mph speed limits. poo poo is Autobahn smooth and a great drive. Named it after Daniel K Inouye. Maybe it's just Oahu being awful.
Not sure what my point is but holy crap any political system needs an actual legitimate opposition party to function.
Maui's roads are really nice, even the north road to Hana is super smooth, just tight and twisty.
