Good editorial in today's Advertiser: "United effort needed to curb Kailua erosion." If we allow houses to be built closer to the shoreline as is happening right now, it could accelerate the erosion problems. Yet NOTHING is being done by the State or City Council!
Why? Same reasons nothing has been done about beach access: lack of leadership. Here's a telling excerpt from the editorial...
Government officials have been aware of the problem for several years, said Chip Fletcher, a University of Hawai'i geologist... He started his work in the Kailua-Lanikai area, so he's familiar with radical changes in this beach zone.
Major players in this drama - officials from city parks and state land departments, as well as from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - have met before, he said, but there's been no corrective plan launched yet.
"The problem is you have something that crosses jurisdictions, and nobody has taken leadership and followed it from A to Z," he said... The absence of leadership is often a key ingredient in how government operates around here, so this observation should come as no surprise.

You do know blog moderators can trace "anonymous" comment posts back to your computer through your ISP, right?
BTW, when you post comments like this one, other people can see what you folks are really like.
No one is stopping you from walking to the marsh through any existing roads that go back to the marsh.
There is no "marsh path" through my property and no gate on my property that opens to the marsh area, so what you say makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
