## Resource

For years, Honolulu ignored warnings and spent millions on studies while Kaukonahua Stream choked with debris—until March’s floods turned a decades-old crisis into disaster. Residents like Rafe Maldonado fought for action, but city officials offered empty promises, with no enforcement or violation notices despite clear responsibility. When the floods hit, volunteers stepped in before the city even began dredging. Now, after the damage, the council approved $16 million for flood control—but most funds go toward future plans, leaving critical North Shore projects unfunded.
