Eric Youn who was born in Princeton, New Jersey moved from Texas to Honolulu where he currently works as a Social Work Professor at the University of Hawaii. In January of 2007, the Honolulu Star Bulletin wrote an article about the tax hike that was taking place to fund a mass transit system. Eric Youn was one of those Oahu consumers who would automatically pitch in for this alternative method of transportation for Honolulu. Mr Youn interviewed regarding this matter when he was at Sam’s Club buying an air conditioner and other goods.

Eric Youn who was then renting an apartment in Waikiki did not expect to ride the transit system since he was looking to buy a home somewhere at the east side of Manoa. This was since it was outside the reach of routes currently proposed in the fixed guide way system. Despite that, Eric still supported the GET increase stating that its revenue will go toward a project that should ease traffic and eventually contribute to a healthier economy which in turn will then benefit all residents.

Eric Youn was quoted as saying: “I always believe that mass transit is a positive thing. If the tax is mainly based for development of public transportation, then it is a good investment.”
