All right, this should be a relatively short section. Since we've been spending a lot of time talking about energy, there is a very clear and real world relationship between energy and nutrition. People talk about calories a lot when they talk about food, and we've been talking about calories as a unit that's used to measure energy, and they are the same thing. So on food labels, when you look at food that you buy at the store, energy is shown, at least in the United States, usually in terms of calories. And it's a special kind of unit called a nutritional calorie. It's not the same as the calorie that we have been talking about. It's related to the calorie that we've been talking about, but it's not the same. The nutritional calorie should be written with a capital C, so calorie like this, instead of calorie with a lowercase c, like we have been writing. A lot of times I'm not sure how true this is, but I took this from your book. They say in countries other than the US, energy is sometimes shown in kilojoules, so we talked about how a joule is also a unit for measuring energy, and a kilojoule would be a thousand joules. I'm not really sure how many countries actually show food energy in kilojoules. They may do that. I'm just not sure about it. What I will tell you, though, is one nutritional calorie, in other words, with a capital C, is the same thing as 1,000 calories that we were talking about earlier. Another way of saying that is one nutritional calorie is the same thing as one kilocalorie of energy. So there's a relationship, there's a pretty simple relationship, a thousand regular calories that we've been talking about is equal to one nutritional calorie. This is a table taken from your book, and what they want to show you is just the average amount of energy that you can get from different types of foods. So for example, if we look at carbohydrates, your average carbohydrate food, you can get about 17 kilojoules worth of energy per gram, this G right here is standing for gram. So what this means in English is for every one gram of carbohydrate, you can get about 17 kilojoules worth of energy out of it. There is a relationship between kilojoules and kilocalories, so if you convert the units from kilojoules to kilocalories, one gram worth of carbohydrate gives you about four kilocalories worth of energy. I believe the conversion is that there are about 4.184 joules per one calorie. So you can do the conversion if you wanted to.  So one gram of fat has about 38 kilojoules worth of energy and you can compare that to one gram of carbohydrate which has less, it has less than half of the amount of energy that a gram of fat has. And so there are conversions for kilocalories here. Protein and carbs have on average about the same amount of energy per gram. So this again, there's nothing earth shattering to take away from this table. It's just showing you that different types of food have on average different amounts of energy stored away in them that you can get out of them. So that's it for energy and nutrition.


Good afternoon, Howard Wing, Cold Green. We have a very, very controversial topic to discuss today, AC versus DC. And I'm talking alternating current versus direct current. You will recall, of course, the current wars. And they were current about 120 years ago, and now we're about to make them current again. Of course, I'm referring to the big epic battle between Nikolai Tesla and Thomas Edison. When Edison first was developing the, not just the light bulb, but the current through which the electricity should travel, he was an alternating current type guy, and Tesla was a direct current type guy. We'll get into that later. Tesla won, but Edison is about to come back with a bang, as will be explained by my esteemed guest, Mr. Henry Lee, CEO of ADC Energy. ADC, get it, direct current energy. So welcome very much, Henry. He just flew in from Los Angeles this afternoon, but you're still looking fresh as a fiddle, and I'm sure you'll be bursting with direct current, or no, yes, direct current energy all through the program. So welcome, Henry. You want to give a, well, why don't we put the first slide up, and then you can give a little background on the company, just for beginners. So thank you for having me, Howard. I appreciate your time and aloha to you. ADC Energy, our mission is very simple. It is two words. It is power everyone. Our mission as the business is to deploy our technology so that everybody in the world, regardless of socioeconomic status, will have access to clean, green, renewable energy. That is our mission. Nothing ambitious about that. A little bit, a little bit. Because there are 7.3 billion people on the face of this earth, and there are at least two, if not closer to 3 billion, who do not currently have access to electricity. One of the projects I've been working on indirectly is to get PV panels into the remote villages of the third world so that people can at least have light at night so the woman of the house can see what she's doing cooking, and kids can do their homework. But I think you have a larger vision than that. Well, you know, the goal here is that if we're shooting for the moon and we miss by a little bit, we'll still be in the stars. So yes, our goal is a lofty one, but I will tell you this, Howard, that you only need two things to power everyone. You need technology. You need visionaries. ADC Energy has a technology. We're in Hawaii, and we think we found a mass of visionaries. Beautiful, beautiful. Why don't we jump into the first slide? Because I think we have something like 20 slides here.  And then in comes Thomas Edison, he goes, I have a new form of light. I call it the light bulb. It's surrounded by glass, and it's a vacuum. So what do you do?  Incredibility.  Very few people know that Thomas Edison was working on something even more immense, and you had touched upon that, and that is DC power. However, he ran out of time. He couldn't finish that. The reason we're here in Hawaii is because ADC Energy actually finished Thomas Edison's incomplete project. A few little technological improvements since Edison's date, which I'm sure you'll get into. Yes, so the concept we're bringing to Hawaii is that we're actually bringing an economy based on our technology. We consider our technology a seed, and when we plant that seed, that seed will grow. And that's the concept. We're bringing an economy based on the technology. So ADC Energy is not here for product or anything like that. It's here to actually plant an organic seed based on brand new technology and with the local's assistance in having it grow and deploy to power everybody. Beautiful. And here, since you're only a part-time Hawaii boy, here's a quiz for you. Where were the first incandescent lamps switched on west of the Rockies? West of the Rockies. I have no clue. About a half mile from here, Eel on a palace. King Kalakaua went to the World's Fair in Paris, met Edison, the two of them immediately connected and Edison arranged for the Eel on a palace to be illuminated. Well there you go, history repeats itself because our technology is actually the world shifting back to DC power. And that's because you had mentioned PV panels, the entire world is going renewable, renewable energy specifically solar energy is generated in DC power and there you go, that story about the lights going off in Eel on a palace. We would love to light up the Eel on a palace. So why don't we hop on the next slide? So that slide is basically a picture of Hawaii's energy world. I think it's a little less than 100% right now because Hawaii has taken on the initiative to become renewable. Not like any island nation like Australia, United Kingdom, Philippines, Hawaii's electricity and energy is based on importing oil and coal and the world is shifting from that. It's kind of obvious. Everybody's agreed except for some presidents that the world needs renewable and is shifting to renewable, which means the world is shifting to a DC power base.  I'm over one. Which state in the union on a per capita basis has the highest infiltration of PV energy, photovoltaic energy? I would hazard a guess that it's Hawaii. It definitely is such that in the middle of a sunny day we produce too much energy via PV. The utilities can't throttle back sufficiently. So something we're working on is storage to store that in the middle of the day so we can shave the evening peak. While storage is a critical component of our technology and I think I'm directly quoting from HIKO in a study that they just did which says, storage is the holy grail of Hawaii's energy future. Absolutely. I said it first but they're catching on real, real quick. Why don't we go to the, oh and incidentally we are down to about 80% or 79% oil and renewables are the other 20% plus efficiency. That's my field. And that's our field too. ADC energy is predominantly efficiency and specifically because we remove the inverter converter component. Precisely. Why don't we go to the next slide? So what we've done here is this is actually from the HawaiiCleanEnergy.gov site. This is Hawaii's clean energy goals. One of the most forward thinking states in the United States. In fact the world to commit to 100% renewable energy by 2045. These are the clean energy goals but we shifted them a little bit because we think with ADC as a technology and the culture of Hawaii as the visionaries we can actually make Hawaii the world leader. Not a world leader but the world leader. This would in combination with the technology and visionaries this would be a given as opposed to a maybe. Absolutely and Governor Ege fully fully supports us in that. Governor Ege was the one who signed the law into law the fact that we will have 100% clean energy, electrical energy by the year 2045. The mandate. Yeah. And it's one of the very few places in the world that's made a specific legal commitment to that. And we're ahead of schedule. And that's fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. So we go to the next slide here. So you're familiar with renewable energy. You're familiar with the concept of the inverter. The inverter is that component that converts solar DC power into AC power. In our view the only reason Tesla went out with AC power is because DC power does not travel long distance. That is why you need an inverter. And I don't know if you knew this Howard but did you know that there is a form of pollution that arises from generating solar energy? The energy that went into making the solar panels. Actually in the process itself it's called harmonics and non-linear loads. Now I'm not a science guy but I did my research. My research was actually vetted by the U.S. Greenville Council and also by NASA. The science, just do a little research, the science is undisputed. Inverters in solar PV arrays create what's called harmonics.  It is if we call it dirty energy. I've heard of that. Just to be clear about inverters we all have our small little electric gadgets and when we plug them in very often it's not just a straight line but there's a little black box. And I think that's converting 120 volts down to 24 or 12 volts, whatever, you know the little black boxes. Those are miniature inverters just so we have a layman understanding of that. Kind of just to take a couple of steps back, the world currently only knows two forms of energy transmission AC power alternating current or DC power direct current. There's only those two. ADC energy actually created a third form of energy transmission called alternating direct current that's what ADC stands for. Under what you're saying like with your AC adapter for your laptop or the solar PV panel with the inverter you have to convert back and forth specifically because DC power does not travel long distance. That's what Edison was working on. How can I transmit DC power long distance? That's the critical issue. That's where ADC comes in. Our technology allows long distance transmission of DC power which basically means this. You don't need to convert energy back and forth. You could go straight from a solar panel straight into storage and distribute AC and DC throughout a facility. You can remove that inverter component altogether all of the waste, all of the dirty energy, all of the issues that with storage for example ventilation, heating, discharging, recharging, battery life. When you don't need to convert back and forth anymore your batteries can last a lot longer, operate at a safe temperature and provide you with the energy that everybody thinks you can get from solar energy but really is a tough stretch right now. On that very cheery note we need to take a break Howard Wake Code Green, Henry Lee back in a moment. Good noon again Howard Wake Code Green my esteemed guest today, Henry Lee CEO of ADC Energy and ADC means alternating direct current, a whole new concept in the electricity world. Henry why don't we jump to the next slide here. Yes here we are. This is a basic summary of why DC power is relevant today is because the entire world is switching to renewables specifically solar and because of that solar energy is generated in DC power but because you have to convert it there's a lot of waste and there's also back feed what I was mentioning as a quote unquote type of pollution formed by generating solar energy. The slide in the lower left is I believe it's 60 acres on the island of Kauai and those PV panels from my studies and my investigation is saving the residents sometimes maybe one to two cents off their bill but 60 acres of Kauai are gone and that's because of inefficiency. Whereas with DC you could cut the acreage down to 30 acres. In our business model we've created what we call the on-site microgrid so your solar panel will actually generate energy on-site, store on-site and use on-site. So yes solar fields, solar farms are definitely relevant but actually your house is actually safely powering on-site itself. Sounds futuristic but it is here. Let's hop on to the next slide. This is the concept of back feed also known as harmonics and non-linear loads. As a very simple example if you ever see the traffic lights and you see the little cells popped that's because of the back feed and that's what's actually happening on the grid. I don't know if you're aware Howard but HECO just submitted a plan to they call it modernized but it's actually a form of repair I believe it is and the budget is $209 million and a lot of that has to do with distribution. When the utility lines were set nobody was really anticipating this influx of like you said PV panels between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and that all surging back into the utility grid does have an effect. So our concept removes all of that all of those issues with the inverted energy feeding back into the grid. All the while reducing the energy needs by 50%. Correct in efficiency standards by removing 50% to 60% of waste and actually keeping it you don't actually have to generate more you just have access to more because you're not throwing it away or losing it in heat so you're actually keeping more so the capacity you have you have more energy available. Beautiful and let's go to the next slide. This is exciting stuff. This quote is from HECO's proposal where it directly says storage is the holy grail of Hawaii's energy future and what you see there is two critical barriers to the holy grail. One is the inverter and two is lithium ion batteries the easiest example is if you remember that phone that had the battery issues that you can take on the airplane. Those are the issues with storage however in our system we call it a straight DC to DC system so that there is no inversion there is no overheating there's no lithium ion issues it's a completely different form of energy transmission so we remove those issues. And for a while the airlines tried to say no phones with lithium ion batteries but that's totally... They still ask you in some airports do you have a lithium ion battery in your bag? And what are you supposed to say? Of course I do. Of course. So that's a real dilemma I would not want to be the airline executives on that one. So let's hop on to the oh here's our next slide. Well this slide just basically is another concept of these are direct quotes from Forbes and the BBC the concept of battery storage and such. You see fires explosions heat risk damage and then the concept of it discharging and recharging really quick that's the issue with lithium ion and the inverter. So this is actually based on an interview I did with some South Australian folks and I kept asking how much is this going to cost you and nobody had an answer. Nobody had an answer. But we do have a from HECO we have the repair answer of 209 million dollars. That's one. So we consider that a band-aid for the current technology what we would propose and what we're submitting to the people of Hawaii and in fact globally we've now gotten a lot of global transaction. So you see Hawaii's HECO solution is 209 million dollars. That is one solution I mean it is a solution to do that or you could remove that inverter component and have a cleaner greener form of energy transmission and in fact our concept is if you're going to spend 209 million to repair how about budget some of that to create a technology that can actually grow and bring revenues to the economy as well. That's our concept is to bring an economy that can grow from the state of Hawaii. All the while reducing our dependence on foreign oil so that instead of our exporting those dollars to the oil producing nations we keep those dollars right here. At the top of that the concept is that as our technology grows there are many different avenues of growth that the people of Hawaii could actually generate revenues from now exporting clean green technology. Exporting over a very large long distance. Well yeah technically yeah. So this next slide is a concept of the holy grail. Those four words solar energy without inverters if you're in the industry you get two reactions one is that's impossible and the second is oh my god that's possible. Those four words got us a five hour meeting one on one with NASA engineers because they really wanted to see how is it possible to do that. And so when we did our presentation we're now at a step where they've acknowledged that we've come up with a real technological breakthrough and we're going to collaborate with them on future developments of what we could do with ADC energy. So they may do a pilot project then or that's currently in the works right now. That would be exciting. Well definitely so that concept solar energy without inverters in the renewable energy world like I said it's either impossible or it's possible when you actually see it like on our website we actually show the concept of long distance DC power. At that point it's oh my god that is possible. Well I know that there's a plan I don't know if there's been a dirt dug with this yet but Wyoming of all places has tremendous wind power and there's a plan to ship that to California which of course is power hungry via DC I don't know if you'd heard about that. I haven't but it wouldn't surprise me that there are multiple concepts of transmitting DC power like a remote solar farm transmitting 500 miles how do we do that. Our concept is simple it's use what you have use it in an efficient manner why throw it away you know I think there was an article I read where China recognizes the concept of renewable energy and high voltage DC power and they're spending get this a trillion dollars to create an entire new utility grid on high voltage DC power I don't know why you would do that if you could use your existing system in a clean safe efficient manner. And I was in China about a year ago and I can testify I was there in June this is in the Shanghai region it gets hot there's no absence of solar power there.  Every part of the world has an issue and it's really in our view simple solution use what you have in the most efficient manner possible yeah and you'll be fine you will be fine sounds like Germany could also benefit from this with all the wind and all the solar they've got they were the pioneers the European pioneers. You heard what I'm gonna say Germany right my my understanding is that all of the renewable energy that Germany has they can't use all of it and so they were trying to ship it out and they couldn't because it was affecting the distribution. Yeah yeah yeah yeah why don't we go to the next slide here. So this is our simple business model this is all ADC energy does we create a world powered by batteries charged by the sun the critical differences we do not use an inverter you do not have the heat you do not have the back feed you don't have those safety concerns you don't have any of those issues it's highly efficient as a system. I like that mission statement the definition of a good mission statement is if you're walking down a dark alley and suddenly a masked man appears and points a gun to your head and says what's your mission statement you need to. We only have two words. Well this is an explanation of our two critical functions we are the only company in the world that can perform these two functions with electricity one is we can transmit AC and DC power simultaneously on existing wires which means Howard in this building if it went ADC energy your plugs could flow AC and DC power at the same time and you'd not have to swap out the wires and then that forms the basis of critical function number two which is long distance DC power transmission without inverts that is what Thomas Edison was working on. I like that acronym OMG yeah we've created the 24 volts mind you to picture that is less than three nine volt batteries we have the ability to power currently an entire building's lighting systems on the equivalent voltage of less than three nine volt batteries that is slightly mind-boggling this the the concept of the ONG the on-site microgrid is first you start with the lights we've created battery powered lights then they become solar powered lights you can take anywhere from 20 to 40 percent of your electrical use off grid and then we add the heating ventilation and air conditioning now you're about 70 to almost 90 percent removing that from the utility we don't go 100 percent off grid it's almost impossible to do that at the same time you want to utilize all the power that's there so we provide an efficient solution that provides efficiency for the consumer and also takes load off of the utility yep yep and we've got time for one more slide if we've got we have any more I think so that is your ADC powered world right there so if you see it the demand side which is our current business model each OMG consider facilities warehouses houses each OMG is basically able to power itself on the supply side the utilities already are into this space they want to do this space the solar farms and utility scale storage but that critical piece in the middle the utility the transmission lines that's the critical missing function this is where ADC energy comes in and allows existing utility lines to be used to pipe solar farm energy store it and then safely transmitted to each OMG so if you picture Puerto Rico for example yes if you had a series of OMGs in Puerto Rico they would still be powered today and on that very very cheerful note we well down but you have any clue I think you did your closing well always last close is our website is www.adcenergy.org you can actually see the two critical functions so you can actually see what we're talking about so you know this technology exists mm-hmm and on that very cheery note thank you very much Henry Lee CEO of ADC energy back in two weeks with another cheerful show thank you very much

The aorta is the largest artery in our body. It's like a garden hose that comes straight off the heart, plunges down through our abdomen, and then splits off into each leg. Our hearts beat about 40 million times a year, and each heartbeat sends a wave of pressure down that hose, so it better be strong, flexible, elastic to deal with each pulse of blood pumped through it. But what if our aorta becomes stiffened with atherosclerosis, inflamed with oxidized cholesterol, clogged with fatty deposits? This is what the inner lining of our aorta should look like. A smooth, pliable, rubbery. But with too much saturated fat in one's diet, fatty streaks start to appear, which can lead to inflammation, ulceration, and calcification. The walls of our aorta can weaken, start stretching, bulging out, ballooning under all that pressure, and when balloons get too big, they can pop, and then you die. The ballooning is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm. A million Americans have them, but most don't even know it. They can be like ticking time bombs, getting bigger and bigger, but you don't feel it until it bursts. So the first and only symptom is usually a painful death. So that's why the current recommendation is that the highest risk group male smokers over the age 65 get a sonogram to make sure they aren't carrying around an aneurysm in their abdomen. But more than half who get abdominal aortic aneurysms don't fall into that group. They're women or non-smokers or under 65, so there's obviously major risk factors that we're missing.

What is this game so you can do that? I think the only lower rank spell worth it for priests is smite Because you can run divine fury and this might will be a one second cast time rank one and it's lower mana cost as well Okay, we depth the sheep What is it shadow priest mage? Yeah Cleaning the mage is nice to be honest. I Should be looking to clean the priest In these early global like cleaning the mage is okay But if I can clean the the priest instead, it's better Because we ideally want to go on the priest Okay, so jumping to get the dispels We forced out the deep we forced out silence CS is gone We're pretty healthy here like they don't really have much in the way of instance you see they'd have no way of getting a sheep On me Aside from the mage using snap the mage is a snap he can deep me Clones the mage. I don't think this clone is good. I think this clone is a rough one from him This kind of disrupts the flow of our game a lot like if this clone here is on the priest You can just run straight to the mage and fuck him up But instead he clones the priests and the major decided to go and priest any changes in mind goes back to mage The clones effectively done nothing other than give them time back on deep freeze and CS Which is not good for us at all Because that's they're like one condition priests obviously getting fear back as well disarm back silence back so That that five seconds is important, you know He's trying to sheet me we're getting some good lining going Positioning is awkward. He probably gets it here. Okay. We've got the trinket and I don't hate that I think that maybe we could have now I think So we went to get the deep freeze off and then we go we hang around and do a pom so I think as soon as we Line that first sheet we need to be getting here Because right now he has no stops we can't rely on him for stops either, right? If he stops it great, but we shouldn't rely on him We have a box so we can use it and then we like last minute react to the sheep cast We should already be in a good position to deal with it So then we have to use trinket we get the block priest fears us mage leaves block voluntarily Cast another sheep also doesn't get stopped But it's like at the end of the day It's our fault right with that initial positioning they should never get that momentum We can just cast to him and allow him to keep uptown on the mage. We're still gonna get the block And we're not gonna have any of the pressure so we still have survival instincts and trinket at this point And and instead we love you divine him so Feral is gonna Innovate on me should get a rest off and game is pretty reset now Pushing into the priest. Is this okay field 18 seconds. His is running out gonna be hard to get his field off He has fear out. I'm not too sure about this push I'm like denying him the fear but mage is obviously able to deep shoot me now Priest trinkets and fears me. I think I don't think I should have pushed up so much here, but Not sure what the option is really Staying on the corner is rough too right because if if I stay on the corner here and Feral pushes onto the priest Mage just comes across and sees me So the timings are a bit unfortunate here I maybe should have tried to delay a little bit and so this field came off and mine came back up and then we could have potentially outplayed the fear Instead we get double feared and I'm likely getting sheeped off this Yep, I think he might just die. Hey, he has his trinket available so he can survive here He should try and charge this priest cast maybe. Yeah, I mean, it's just a late late charge It's a dead So again, Feral not really stopping stuff Is the more direct reason but there's definitely things I can do to Get ahead of this right and make sure that this the situation doesn't actually occur Mainly like the initial positioning right on the sheep over here this one So here I think going for the dispel on this deep is not worth it So I need to be more mindful of that. I need to be going directly here Instead of like I'm trying to do too much Instead of just making a safe play and trading out a cooldown Just lose all of all of our momentum for it Because he ever is now Yeah, we get a restuff, but it's not worth it because we push in on the priest here Like I think there's no rush here, right? They have everything already up. We just wait Like 10 seconds for the field Have to be more mindful of that Even if the priest doesn't get this fear here if this mage is good I'm gonna get deep sheep to and then the game is You know is really bad like the moment this priest gets opened on this mage Can deep shoot me Because I'm on the outside of the box instead. He was just running So I guess he was scared to be the target. I don't know that was really weird from him What is the button you keep pressing that is swirly red button target party one probably with enough spell power and fast Low rank spell could be worth no the the smite rank one is only worth it for killing totems If it's far away, this is the only situation where rank one smite is worth it or getting spell reflect potentially as well Yeah, actually a good check. So yeah, the only the only time because this might rank one damages like 50 The only time it's worth it is is for killing a totem if it's annoying to wander if you have divine um Divine fury and the only other situation is getting a reflect off Arena target macros. I have target arena one two three and I have target party one two and target self Rank one shadow of pain costs the same as max rank shadow of pain That's the difference juggernaut And if the warrior already has shadow of pain, then you can't reapply it with a rank one It will say more powerful spell is active this the the General thing that I go for is just penancing it because usually a one tick of penance gets eaten by the reflect And then the other two do damage so you don't lose all the value of the spell, right?  I'm just gonna be over you one second


Hi, I just want to show you a common bug in Facebook Ads Manager. I'm publishing an ad and it's taking longer than expected. It says publishing one of three is 25% and it just seems to be stuck here. So the simple solution is to just simply get the URL, copy the URL, and then open the new tab and paste the URL in. So we are the same URL and I simply click on Review and Publish and I go and click Publish and you will find that it goes through this time. So the other tab also has gone through, but I find that just this manual refresh and review publish seems to work well, so hope that helps.


Politics at land in Hawaii with Dennis Isaki on Think That Hawaii. Today we'll be speaking with Sterling Higa, Executive Director of Housing Hawaii's Future. Two years ago, Colbert Batsumora put us in touch to discuss housing and we met at Danny's restaurant on Kauai, which has since closed. Sterling is a former debate champion and coach, college lecturer at the Hawaii Pacific University and his coach at Punahou also, right, Sterling? Yep, back in the day. My experience with judging high school, speech and debate tournaments I felt inadequate. They even asked me if I wanted to change my answer when I judge. That was when my son was competing and also Senator Stanley Chang was in high school. Stanley is now in the legislature and pushing for affordable housing also. Among other things, Sterling is a hip hop rapper and was dominated to a Nahuca Hanoa Award with one of his albums. Perhaps we can listen to a clip if we have time. Sterling, welcome to Think That Hawaii. Awesome, thank you for having me, Dennis. Yeah, first, please tell us a little more about your background and why you're doing this. So I grew up in Honolulu and attended public schools graduating from Roosevelt. And every year, since my graduation, I've watched more and more of my classmates move to the mainland to pursue opportunity elsewhere. And one of the biggest reasons they leave is because they can't afford to buy a home here as they start their families. I would love to have a future in Hawaii for my own three children, my wife and I and three children with one more on the way. I want to have a future where my children, my grandchildren can afford to stay in Hawaii so that we no longer have people feeling like they have to leave. Okay, so how did you get started with this project? So I was approached by Colbert Matsumoto who put me in touch with two young men, Zachary Yamada and Evan Gates. Zach was a recent college graduate and Evan was a college student taking a gap year during COVID. And they had been working on the plans for Housing Hawaii's future, which is 501C3 nonprofit, whose goal is to build a movement of millennials and Gen Z to help end the workforce housing shortage. Zach and Evan had realized after talking with three dozen experts on housing, with expertise spanning back decades and they read a bunch of papers. What they realized was that young people had never been involved in the discussions around housing. And the concerns that young people have when they're starting their careers and families weren't being represented. And the people who needed starter homes to get a jump on life were just left out of the equation. So what they decided was if you could organize millennials and Gen Z, you would create these powerful advocates, not from the perspective of trying to get rich like developers or trade and industry groups, but from the perspective of the people who ultimately will live in the housing that's being built. And that that would lead us as a community to solve this problem once and for all so that young people can afford to stay here. Yeah, I understand you've been talking to a lot of people like Habitat for Humanity and some developers. Can you tell us, Samara, are you at liberty to mention who you're talking to? Yeah, well, we've talked to a lot of people and if anybody watching this wants to talk, I'm happy to discuss the approach so far has been to learn from as many people as we can. So we've talked with affordable housing developers like Stanford Car and Makani Maiva. We've talked to some of the community land trusts like Cassandra Abdul at Nahaleo Maui, the community land trust on Maui, the representatives from the Habitat for Humanity chapters. We've also talked with contractors, with building suppliers and with all the people along the chain of housing development down to the people who are either unable to afford homes because they've been priced out or the people who've been lucky enough to afford homes because they benefited from some of the home buyer education programs that are put on by Hawaiian community assets or the Hawaii Home Ownership Center. So by talking to all these stakeholders, we've tried to form a complete picture of what's going on in housing so that we can find a solution that works in the real world. Yeah, you mentioned Habitat for Humanity. They've been doing a lot of good work on the island of Kauai over here. I think that that model is pretty good and that the self-help housing, they've been doing a lot of good work too. Yeah, the self-help housing model is amazing. Having people contribute that sweat equity to build their homes really connects. It helps them to realize the value of a home and obviously because they're investing that sweat equity, you can reduce the cost of constructing the home, which ultimately makes it more affordable for that buyer. Okay, and in speaking with developers, I'm sure they've spoken of government regulations and red tape. What have you heard? So there was a great report that was released by the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization, U-Hero, about the Wharton Index, which found that Hawaii's counties are among the most regulated in the entire country. And there's agreement on everyone's part that regulation is a major source of the cost of housing. So addressing government regulation is going to be one of the pieces to bringing the cost of housing down to the price where a local family can afford it. Yeah, I think that's a large part of it, but it seems like politicians all talking about housing rate date. And at the same time, there's more and more regulation going on, you know. And as I say, they're cutting the red date, but they're cutting it land-wise. Speaking of land, this is another example to say, oh, you're not gonna be, you cannot be more than treat the land to width ratio, three to one. And if not, you gotta go to this land, the variance process, which I went through, and they're still, you know, taking months and months, and just to get a lot to be approved, that's more than three to one land to width.  They were talking about the Singapore model. Have you heard of that? Yeah, so Senator Stanley Chang has been the most vocal advocate in Hawaii for the Singapore model, which is basically the government serving as a developer, and then leasing out homes to customers or citizens, ultimately, on a leasehold model. So the people would not own the ground, but they would have the right to occupy the unit for, you know, to 99 years. And that's one model that's been proposed for how to deal with our cost of housing in Hawaii. Obviously, especially in urban Honolulu, for example, the cost of land is one of the major factors that prevents the development of new housing. So if the government steps in to provide that land to develop housing, that's one way to reduce the cost of housing. And a leasehold, which is somewhere between renting and owning something outright fee simple, is one way to reduce the cost of housing because the buyer doesn't have to pay for the cost of the underlying land value. That's interesting, I think I brought it up before, because in the past, there were some land, large landowners with homes, then the Hawaii State, the government, I don't know if you heard of the Land Reform Act, I think 70s, 80s, they forced this data to sell the interest in a land. They were forced to sell it. It's kind of going the opposite way. And now they're going to the leasehold. Yeah, I mean, the birth of Hawaii Kai in large part was, you know, leasehold lands ultimately being converted to fee simple when the Hawaii State Supreme Court forced a lot of those large landowners ultimately to sell those leasehold properties. I think leasehold is only one of many options that are sort of on the table for addressing the housing crisis. But at this point, we have to have an open mind and keep a lot of options available because there's no, I think, like silver bullet for addressing housing. It's going to take a lot of different elements. Yeah, you know, there's a lot of factors. But I think, you know, a lot of them stemming from that government red tape and all the developers have been saying that, you know, taking very long to do a project. And then the government comes in and says, oh, we're in the housing, we're going to do it now. And then we're going to impose more taxes, if you will, and everybody else will do that. They could developers do it with the tax credits. You know, that's how they fund these projects. And when developers kind of do a project, the government comes on and say, you got to pay X amount of dollars to fund these affordable housing projects. I think it was in the 80s and 90s. It was one, I think it was 60% had to be affordable. That's when the developers thought it was a little bit too much.  But then when HFDC was first formed, they started Kapolei and the big projects. They had a mix of market homes and low income. And as well as the Act 15, which expedited review, that really helped the projects and the profits, if you will, from the market homes, helped subsidize the other one. So I think it was a good way to do housing. And that they, when different administration came in after why they went out of that, and later on they came in. They started HFDC, but they're not doing anything that they were doing before doing the Waihe'i plan. You know anything about that? Yeah, well, the Waihe'i administration was one of the golden eras for housing construction in Hawaii. One of the keys that Governor Waihe'i told me about when we had a conversation was he had an agency, the Office of State Planning, which was tasked with helping to get all of the ducks in a row in the administration. So oftentimes development gets slowed down because different departments and agencies don't work with each other at the state level and they don't work well with the counties. But what Governor Waihe'i recognized, and I think he was correct to do this, was if you were able to coordinate the government better, you could speed things up, which ultimately reduces the cost of constructing housing. And that's an approach that I think any future governor, including the incoming Governor Green, would do well to consider is coordinating the state departments and agencies to make sure that they're all driving toward housing. Yeah, like I said, all the politicians talking about housing and Governor-elect Green mentioned his project he was involved in. I think there were like 36 homes or something, but the need is like thousands, right? So, you know, we got a long way to go. So what have you heard from the developers? What else you heard from the developers that you've spoken to? So a big concern among developers is the uncertainty regarding approvals, especially discretionary approvals by, say, the county council. Oftentimes, developers have to go through two processes. For example, the Kobayashi Group, which is developing Kuala Place on Kapilani Boulevard in Honolulu, has to go to HHFDC for one 201H approval to get exemptions from certain density and height requirements and to apply for funding. And then they have to go to the county council for a similar approval to get it passed by the county council. One of the things that 201H was intended to do was to help to reduce the burden of having to get discretionary approvals at the county council level. But ultimately, the developers still have to go through both processes. Sometimes the discretionary approval at the county council ends up destroying a project entirely, which was the case with Makani Mayeva's project in Kailua, where the county council initially was supportive of the project. And then after a small bit of community opposition, the county council sort of caved and ended up opposing the project and denying Makani Mayeva the exemptions that she needed to complete the project. That's the kind of issue that developers really get uneasy about, because if you invest hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in your pre-construction planning, and then you're not able to actually complete the project, that's money that's all gone. So one of the proposals that developers will talk about is by right development, which means if a project meets these certain criteria, like it has such a number of affordable units and it's in locations where we want affordable units, etc., then the project would automatically be granted approval. That's one of the ways to take the politics out of development. Obviously politicians are reluctant to adopt by right approvals because that's one of the ways that they gain power and influence. You're more likely to be able to go to developers for campaign donations if you're the one who gets to decide whether or not they can build their project at the end of the day. So I think there's a contest that we have to address where who should be making the final decision about what gets built? Is it something we want to leave in the hands of elected officials who oftentimes will respond to the most vocal, not my backyard or NIMBY opposition groups? Or is it something where we want to determine a process for how we approve projects and allow people who meet those criteria to automatically be able to build the housing that they want to? Going back to the 80s, I think it was the 80s and 90s, there was the Act 15 that HFTC had that could just grant permits to proceed some of the county zoning and construction issues. But then the county came and said, okay, we're not going to inspect it and we're not going to accept the road. So they got to have coordination over there. I think HFTC is still paying for some of the things that they did long time ago because of that. Let's talk about doing away with the land use commission. What do you think about that? So the controversy with the land use commission is that if you have a parcel of land, you have to have it allocated to a certain land use, like say urban land use at the land use commission, and then you have to go to a separate county level for zoning. And what ends up happening is this adds a long step. Land use commission proceedings very often are, they can be contested case proceedings where an intervener can enter in and cause legal challenges that ultimately make the land use commission decision take years potentially. I don't know what the best answer is. One of the solutions that was proposed last legislative session by Representative Hashimoto from Maui is changing the requirement of going to the land use commission when you're dealing with parcels below a certain threshold. So only having to go through land use commission approvals if you're dealing with a very large development, but allowing things to go much quicker through the county level if you're dealing with a small amount of land. This is based on a principle called home rule, which says the counties can make more of the decisions regarding land. And that's one of the options to reduce the amount of decisions that have to go through the land use commission. I believe as of now, the current point is 15 acres. So if it's smaller than that, I believe we just go to the county or city level. Right. And I think the proposal from Hashimoto was to increase that threshold to 50 acres. It didn't get through a session last time, but I think it's a bill that's worthy of reconsideration, whether the threshold should be 15 or 50 or somewhere in between is a matter, I think, that the public can debate. But it does seem that at least right now, the fact of having to go through LUC and then through the county zoning is definitely adding a layer, which then adds the time and the uncertainty because each of those decisions, LUC and the county, are both then discretionary decisions where someone can say no and deny you what you're asking for. Yeah, it might take years for all that permitting with the entitlements. In fact, sometimes it's hard to dispute or get away from it. In fact, now they're imposing more cultural evaluations, like the Kapakai analysis. I guess it was in the books for a while there, but they clamping down on that when some of the people bring up more old cultural things, look at the rules, you gotta go back to the original time of the Mahaley and takes a lot of things, even on pieces that were instead developed but wrecked on and all throughout the years, 100 years, but you still gotta go back and look at the report. Have you heard anything about that? Well, generally, there are kind of two classes of challenges to land use that come up often. The cultural challenges are coming from native Hawaiians. Sometimes developments are slated for areas where there are iwi kupuna or buried ancestors or sacred sites like Heiaos. In either of those cases, I think we have to be careful to preserve the culture that is there, and then you have the environmental challenges where they don't want the development to occur if it threatens endangered species. Obviously, there are some concerns about development occurring in the sea level rise area. I think both of these concerns, the cultural and the environmental concerns, are both legitimate. One of the issues at the state level though is these concerns are handled by different agencies. Those agencies don't always work in an efficient coordinated manner, so if you're a developer, you have to go through, say, the state historic preservation division to get your approvals for all of the cultural issues and then another division to deal with the concerns about sea level rise. Every delay in each of these departments is something that adds, again, that time, uncertainty, risk, and the cost to development. I understand it has to be a sensitive issue with the cultural, sacred sites, environmental, but it's not cut and dry. It seems like it's arbitrary, you know, so you don't get a clear cut answer on that. Unless you go through the whole process, years, sometimes even the vicinity of some cultural thing, they're talking about something that's mild as a way, and then the people doing the commissioners, they're kind of confused. They think you're talking about this project when some other issues, environmental or something, is not exactly on the project, so it kind of messes up things. Yeah, and that's where I think we need transparent criteria for what would be approved or disapproved, and these have to be a matter of robust public debate. I don't think the best solution is allowing a few bureaucrats in an office somewhere or a few non-elected commissioners to make decisions that have such a huge impact on housing. Yeah, well, luck in trying to change that, so have you been working with some of the elected officials also? So, Housing Hawaii's future, we often meet with both elected officials and some of the civil servants that work in the county and state administrations to ask for their advice on things. Our hope is ultimately that the young people who are getting involved can help motivate some of these what we call decision makers, these important stakeholders to move in the same direction. The most gratifying and encouraging thing so far is all of the elected officials and civil servants we've spoken to, they want to address the housing issue and they want to help improve the situation for young people, and I think part of what Housing Hawaii's future and other housing organizations can do is help to reflect back the way that their decisions are actually impacting housing. So, making sure that their good intentions are backed up by the right kinds of actions that are moving us toward housing. Yeah, I mean, you say they're getting motivated, but I think they should be motivated if they're an officer right here. Well, we hear a lot of talk in the past months prior to the election, everybody talking about housing, right? You see any changes coming up? Or I guess it'll be a prediction, but I think I mean, there are encouraging signs. Governor-elect Green made campaign promises to take decisive action on housing. It was the number one issue he said in a lot of public forums on Maui in the race for mayor. Mayor-elect Judge Bissen made housing a key element of his campaign and said that he would also take decisive action to address housing. So, at least in Maui County in this next year and at the state level, you have executive leaders who have made this a priority. The thing now for members of the public to do is to help hold these executives accountable and to make sure that they deliver on the promises that they made during the campaign. That's easier said than done. True. Yeah, and another thing about housing is homelessness. You got any thoughts on that? So, homelessness and housing are definitely related. Homelessness does mix in a couple of other big issues, which is treatments for drug addiction and also for mental health. So, oftentimes, homelessness is caused by one or a combination of drug addiction or mental health, mental illness, and so addressing homelessness is not just a matter of providing housing. Oftentimes, you need to wrap around services that will help somebody get the medication they need or the mental health treatment they need so that they can progress toward being a fully functional member of society, being able to work and support themselves and be responsible for themselves and to care for others as well. What housing Hawaii's future tends to focus on, though, is housing in the sort of middle-class range, what is called the GAP group, which for people who are familiar with area median income is typically from like 80 to 140 percent area median income. These are people who are employed and are working. They're your teachers, your firefighters, your police officers. They earn a decent wage at work, but they're priced out of the housing market because there are no starter homes available for them. So, at Housing Hawaii's future, we support the work of all of the groups that deal with homelessness issues, and I think that the work that they do is important, although our focus remains on this middle-class GAP housing group because these are the civil servants we need to help Hawaii progress, and it's also the people that we're losing often when they leave Hawaii to pursue opportunity elsewhere, and we want to sort of plug the holes in the bucket so that those people can stay here. Yeah, I understand that certain issues that associated the homeless test in a drug and lots, but there are some, I guess, some people called houseless. They're not in the middle class. They just had so they could pile up into three families in one house or even live in the cars. I heard a little bit about some legislators talking about the Finnish solution for homelessness from Finland or something. Have you heard anything about that? So, my understanding, and I'm not an expert on the Finnish model, is that it is a lot of these social supports. So, your mental health care, all of the other things besides housing that are necessary for someone to have a well-integrated life, and that's something that we can definitely improve in Hawaii in terms of dealing with the homelessness issue. So, where to go to Finland to get the solution? Well, I think it's valuable. Hawaii often sends delegations. They've sent a delegation to Singapore, to Vienna, to Finland to learn from some of these models. Now, there's a danger, which is we are not Singapore or Vienna or Finland, although there are certain elements that we can take from this. It's kind of like a grab bag or a potluck where we can take a little bit from each of these and combine it into something that works for Hawaii. I'm definitely cautious. People will often get really excited about a certain model of housing and they'll wonder why we can't do it here, and usually there's a good reason why we can't do it here. For example, Singapore had an incredible executive leader who basically ruled like an autocrat for decades, who was able to implement their housing program. We don't have that system. We have a more democratic system with checks and balances. Even somebody who wanted to do a radical action like the Singapore housing model wouldn't be able to do that in Hawaii without resistance. So, I think the best thing for us is to figure out what our problems are in Hawaii, to clearly identify them. And then once we have identified the problem, to figure out is there somebody who has part of the solution to this problem, and can we take a piece of that to implement here? Have you reached out to University of Hawaii, DERP, Urban and Regional Planning, guys like Carl Kim? So, I have had a conversation with Carl Kim not about housing, but about something else. McKenna Kaufman at DERP is a great expert on terms of energy and transportation. And so, yeah, when we need to talk about urban planning, we talk to people from DERP. They're the experts. Okay, we're running out of time. You have time for a rap song or a rap pop? Unfortunately, no time for a rap song, but I hope that, you know, viewers will get engaged with Housing Hawaii's Future.
