Hello Derek,
I plan on attending as much of these events as well so I can probably talk to a good cross section of the community that may attend your social event. Thank you very much for the invite. Also, my girl friend usually has events on Tuesd…

Jonathan: The old Star market is scheduled to become the new Longs Drug. The old Longs will close
i agree!
Hi Jonathan, here are my thoughts:
It is called the Rail, I call it the train.
I think most people in Hawaii theoretically, want to walk, everyone knows it is healthier. The main forces discouraging walking are: the sun, the heat, the lack of restin…
Derek, sorry, my gf cannot come, but I will still be there. I'll see you at 6pm. Thanks for the article links! Great stuff. Later, I should talk to you about the community design research studio at the UH School of Architecture in which students wor…
Hello Kathy,
I could talk to Janet Gilmar, a resident of Palolo and a respected Landscape Architect who is affiliated with the University of Hawaii.
Thanks for the nice welcome.
Jonathan
Thanks Kathy,
I appreciate your feed back. I think that Manoa does have the proximity advantage and the UH is under the Manoa neighborhood district, but my goal in researching college towns is to help minimize the use of the automobile, or the depen…
Hi Jonathon,
Glad you joined Moiliili Matters, your comments are great. Change is difficult, especially on an island. People like you, who can stand up and look around really can help us to make our community better. If we talk about these new ideas…
I think if you are looking for a college town for UH, you would look at Manoa. Most college towns are closer to the college and have amenities that college students want. Most of the students from UH are commuters. The majority of them have cars ( d…

- Hello,
My name is Jonathan Yabiku and I am a doctoral candidate of the School of Architecture at the University of Hawaii. It is my intention to research ways to develop college towns. As part of my study, I wanted to do a case study on the Moiliili Community and the University of Hawaii. I wanted to find out where these two entities stand in terms of relating to each other. How do these communities mix? What improvements in relationships would these communities like to see? Thank you for allowing me to join your community.

- Hello Derek,
Thank you very much for responding to me and letting me know of Evan Dobelle and the others on this great website? I don't think I knew exactly what my interest would be when Dobelle was President of the University but I will surely look up the information.
I am curious, what's your opinion on the college town? Do you think Moiliili could benefit from an establishment of a college town. I personally think that there could be more physical connections between the University and the Moiliili community such as adding great pedestrian friendly sidewalks.
Thanks Derek!

- Aloha Jonathan!
Welcome to Moiliili Matters and mahalo for joining us.
It sounds like you're doing some fascinating research. Former UH President Evan Dobelle publicly stated that he wanted to have a "college town." You should be able to find some info on the internet about those comments and goals. I believe I also posted some quotes in a discussion forum posting as well on this site. There are a number of good resources on this site that you could ask. We have several neighborhood board members on here, as well as business and other community leaders. We have three state lawmakers (2 Representatives and 1 Senator) and our district councilmember also.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this site.
