DUKE BAINUM believes that we need to do a better job of managing the relationship between land use, transportation, how communities relate to each other, and how all these factors influence the quality of our lives.
- This means that government needs to pay attention to how our growth areas are organized and how the spirit and environment of each community develops.
- This includes making sure that government pays attention to the necessary infrastructure - roads, traffic management, handling of waste, recreational space, traffic - before growth occurs.
- Urban Dwellers should be able to expect a "new and improved" Honolulu. The City land use plan must encourage the kind of mix of commercial, retail, service, open space, housing, and public transportation that create a thriving and safe place to live in.
- DUKE BAINUM believes that keeping the country country does not mean second class citizenship. Services, economic opportunities, and safety must be available and appropriate to the needs and wishes of the communities.
