Letter: High-rises not the answer to our housing problems
Honolulu Star-Advertiser -

In regard to Wednesday’s letter (“Build up, not out, to solve Oahu’s housing problem,” Star-Advertiser, April 3), this is a tourist destination; visitors come here to see the natural beauty of our islands. The ocean sunrises and sunsets, and the green mountains are the draw. Building high-rise buildings makes it a city and will eventually kill the tourist trade. Nobody will want to come to a high-rise city with blocked views of our sights.
