Nothing means nothing to developers

Honolulu Star Bulletin
May 23, 2006
I learned something interesting from Corky's cartoon of May 21, in which protesters of North Shore development are asked if they live there, and they reply, "Nah, there's nothing there."
In other words, if the land is covered with condos, malls and freeways, then there would be "something" worthwhile. To the pro-development crowd, a natural area is "nothing."

Thanks, Corky, for the education, I always wondered what made developers tick, other than greed.
