Posted by Mme Dupuytren There was a question put out earlier on what other types of businesses we'd like to see...well how about NONE and instead, build more onramps onto the freeway and more than one friggin' exit out of Mauka! Its ridiculous in the morning trying to get out of Mauka. One lane to go onto the freeway, and then everyone cuts in on both sides because they don't want to wait! It will get worse in another 5 years. Since I am on the soap box now, how about another HIGH SCHOOL? We have 3 elementary schools, over 5 preschools but only one middle school and one high school? Where are all the kids from the elementary and preschools going to go? Private school?? Mililani High did not get a good rating for student-teacher ratio, facilities, passing grades, etc. The community is growing so fast, we need to keep up. Instead, more housing and things like storage facilities are planned. --Previous Message--

I agree that there are worse things that can be built than storage places, but I also agree with the post that they are eyesores and just plain awful uses of space. I secretly think that Castle and Cook (and all developers) are in cahoots with the storage guys...that's why they don't build good storage into the homes as a regular feature nowdays.
