My "two coconuts" is that recreating the Hawaii theme in Hawaii is very necessary because the true Hawaiian architecture, culture and motif are, sadly, being lost. I will just give just two examples: (1) the International Market Place is to be gutted for a shiny new mall and (2) the Hula Hut, last remaining unaltered Spencecliff venue (from 1970) is now gone (and it was incredible).
