I've been thinking about whether Oahu is getting too crowded. I recently read a book entitled "The Wizard and the Prophet" by Charles Mann and it got me thinking about the maximum capacity of Oahu and if we're doing anything now that could hurt us in the future. It's an interesting book that's making me rethink my views on the idea that we should continue to build more housing on Oahu. Does Oahu have a max capacity? What happens when we reach that point?
