What is an industrial park?

An industrial park is an area zoned and planned for the purpose of industrial development.  The "lightweight" version, on the Waianae Coast would be two story shopping centers to provide office space. Most designers are still thinking last century (one story.)

Industrial parks are usually located on the edges of, or outside the main residential area of a city, and normally provided with good transportation access. We should slow down in bedroom community building.

This idea of setting land aside through this type of zoning is based on several concepts. For the residents on the Waianae Coast, "Coulda been home in 20 minutes." instead of spending hours every day going to town and paying $500 per month for parking. Or riding the bus, which nowadays is the most terrible thing that can happen to you. Auwe!

To be able to attract new business in one location, we must be able to concentrate dedicated infrastructure in a delimited area to reduce the per-business expense of that infrastructure. Such infrastructure includes roadways, high-power electric supplies (often including three-phase power), high-end communications cables, large-volume water supplies.

We could set aside for industrial uses in Makaha, Waianae, Maili, and Nanakuli and try to reduce the environmental and social impact of the industrial uses. Each with 100 units, industrial and office could provide employment to maybe 9000 people, which is a lot of people off the freeways to town.

This is at present an urban island, so don't give me any of that (keep the country, country) crap. But you must also realize that this is not a city of 20 million people. Know the difference. The future of Oahu is not Honolulu, but the Waianae Coast, the North  Shore and the Windward side and all those people that "Coulda been home in 20 minutes." And what about the Central Valley?

Pub's Side Note: PRP spending millions in Push Polling which is all lying about Ben Cayetano and many believe without any proof whatsover. Auwe!
