To be fair, the morning traffic to town (and I presume on the way to H2 to go North in the winter) is awful from the west side and the waves around Ewa Beach aren't always that great

I honestly would rather have these kooks go here and inject money into the local economy than crowd up town lineups, dropping in an on auntie or uncle who have been patiently waiting for their set wave. I saw way too much of that this past summer and I'm surprised locals weren't more aggressive about it considering it wasn't that bad during the rest of the pandemic.

They reference "the grumbling from some corners", it was downright screaming but city council doesn't give a rip about the citizens. Yet another reason I am seriously think of heading to other territory away from the ocean.

This whole draught water situation in California is going to make this a "hard sale" for local politics. Now is not the right time. Tennessee would be a better place for one as they seem to have floods and excess rain. No water problems there.
