  1. Please don't build another movie theatre in Kapolei. We don't need one because there's already a movie theatre just 1.2 miles down the road. Our society needs to reject the rampant consumerism that has become a way of life. It is unnecessary and damaging. Hawai'i has enough malls, theatres, and big box stores. Kapolei is a nondescript carbon copy of a mainland suburb plopped in the middle of what should be untouched, pristine farmland. Stop building things so that transplants stop moving here. It is not part of the Aloha Spirit to give and give and get more problems in return. Please do no build another movie theatre in Kapolei!
