To destroy is so much easier than to create or even maintain. Here’s an idea: Take the $2.5 million allocated to the destruction of the Haiku Stairs, which solves a headache for a small subset of Oahu, and shift it over to rehabilitating the Waikiki Natatorium.

It is painful to see this amazing and unique landmark deteriorate. Imagine the thousands — locals and tourists alike — who would flock to this incredible pool.
