A July 15, 2007 television news piece on the success of a youtube video called "Discover Kauai."
The short film sparked local controversy on the Hawaiian island of Kauai by speaking what is unspeakable in a society dependent on the tourism dollar: that there are serious flaws in this island paradise, most notably runaway development. Paving over Paradise is, in fact, BAD for not only for to
urism, but for everyone who lives on Kauai -- for Native Hawaiians, for long-time residents, and for recent transplants from North America and beyond.

Ok, good point. I thought that are only a few miles. (That would be no problem, by bike) Does somebody know how long it takes to drive from the south to the north end? e.g. from lihue to kilauea?

All this is true because the government officials are whores. Things like SUNSET KAHILI, POIPU SHORES, SHERATON KAUAI, etc., etc., are abominations.

Thanx.. I didn't know how to spell haoles. :) I'm a haole and I agree. Haoles should only be allowed to visit at the discretion of native Hawaiians.

look at traffic in LA or New York... the traffic is way worse there!! what difference does it make here or there?? just leave a few hours earlier and DEAL WITH IT!!!

Depends on the time ... ( 8 months ago by bcdiver70)

Depends on the time of day how long it takes to get through Kapaa. One time without an accident it took 1.5 hours just to get from Kealia Beach just to the other side of Kapaa at Haleilio Rd at the shell station just to make my turn home.

okay first of all ... ( 7 months ago by xlostpnai)

okay first of all the way that it is in LA is about the same as in OAHU...kauai is a different island because of the fact that the island only has 2 lanes...one going north and east and one going south and west...oahu on the other hand has freeways and the traffic is dead stop for at least 5 minutes..

We are visiting ... ( 7 months ago by bits1010)

We are visiting Hawaii / Kauai in May, thank you for letting us know about the traffic jams so we can plan ahead, seriously we don't mind the traffic jams and over development in housing estates. (we live in Sydney Australia). I am sure we can still find somewhere which still has the touch of nature in Kauai. It is only bad for the residents there who has to suffer this issue.

I didn't think the traffic was bad at all when I was there on New Years, it's not like it was bumper to bumper or anything. I don't think tourism should be banned or anything after all the economy depends on it, but the rich people living there is horrible, the natives should be the only ones that live there, but this isn't a perfect world.

I feel sorry for the residents I was there and saw hardly any locals and lots of traffic...I would be mad if I was a local!

yeah get off our land and go back 2 the mainland
we dont need anymore haoles

If it wasnt for the haoles, most of the locals would be living much worse than they are now. Locals should understand that this is a county in the state of Hawaii in the USA. We haoles have as much right to the place as you. So get use to it or move to another country. You should also be thanking the US Navy for all they do for the island. Wake up and become part of the real world.

Typical Haole talk. ... ( 3 months ago by sprayv90)

Typical Haole talk. SHADAP and GET OFF.
The most common reason Haoles come to kauai:
"We really felt the spirit of the island when we first came here for a vacation. The island called to us and we wanted to be a part of the island and get away from all the problems in the mainland." GIVE ME A BREAK!

id say it takes abouut..hmm

Thats a pity. I mean the island is so beautiful with a lot of nature. Everybody who has the privilege to live there should be very thankful and appreciate it.
