Callies: Preserving Paradise

by David L. Callies

?A thought-provoking and well-researched commentary on the impact of Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council on Hawaii land-use policies.? ?Harold S. Matsumoto, Director of Planning, State of Hawai'i ?Startling, provocative. . . . It should be read by all land developers, government regulators, and citizens who care about preserving paradise.? ?Kent M. Keith, President, Chaminade University; Former Director of Planning, State of Hawai'i ?Useful and succinct. . . a needed clarion call for a more appropriate balance between regulation and pro-active planning. Those who dislike the message that Hawaii can no longer rely so heavily on regulation to preserve the Islands? resources and exact 'public benefits? from developers would, nevertheless, be foolish to ignore it.? ?John P. Whalen, Former Director, Department of Land Utilization, City and County of Honolulu ?A major contribution of this book is that it presents several alternatives to regulatory taking for preserving environmental quality. . . . While this book focuses on the Hawaiian experience, it offers much for planners and lawyers everywhere.? ?Anthony James Catanese, President and Professor, Florida Atlantic University ?Callies has again provided a comprehensive review of Hawaii?s land-use regulatory process. . . . He has presented his point of view that for legal and policy reasons this regulatory system will not effectively preserve what is unique and important about Hawaii.? ?Dan Davidson, Executive Director, Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii
