I'm unsurprised you took the article as a piece of serious journalism. The only people who care about this are the folks at Outside Magazine, those they pander to, and a small number of people in HI that don't care about/don't need tourism dollars. They will not "get their way", there aren't enough of them. The vast majority of HI is happy to support whatever activities transfer money from tourists into the local economy, including the use of a small air force of helicopters that exist solely for the purposes of entertaining the masses. And that majority is smart, they long ago condensed operations to small areas and preserved large swaths of land on the Big Island where low altitude operations are not allowed, thereby "preserving the environment". And there's some unintended consequences for you: maybe they should open up a little airspace to reduce density.
Not sure where you live, BR, but if it's the US it might be time for you to move to a place where free enterprise doesn't exist, and where they only practice the sort of aviation that you approve of.
