It is perfectly fine for Manoa residents to just say "NO" to the whole MBC Project. LYCA is pulling the cultural card, the sympathy card for kupuna who will be forced to live on the street. LYCA claims to be running big deficits, unable to even fix a few broken louvers and has placed the community on notice that they could go bankrupt. Affordable Housing (A-2) does not trump Preservation Land (P-2). Moiliili, McCully, and Makiki are better suited for this type of affordable rental housing and already zoned A-2 and BMX. These areas are in desperate need of redevelopment to modern high density units. The Primary Urban Center Development Plan for Honolulu focuses on Transit-Orientated Development where higher density development and infrastructure is best suited, next to RAIL, walking distance to most services and no need for a car. The concepts are not to plant high density in the middle of a single-family neighborhood. The areas surrounding the Manoa Chinese Cemetery are all zoned Residential (R7.5 and R10) and Apartment zoning is a significant change to the neighborhood. Pull the wool from your eyes! Get involved by giving our contact emails to the Stop MBC group and be willing to testify and write testimony on moments notice.
