Kona because they cannot afford housing near their jobs. Gentrification is simply a polite <br /> word for those with more money displacing those with less money. According to the <br /> developers of the Sea Mountain project, this is exactly what will happen to Ka'u if their <br /> project goes through. Guaranteed its what would happen. Surely there are better things to <br /> do with our time and money than helping mainland maiahini take over Ka'u. <br /> in summary, in addition to keeping Ka'u agricultural and affordable while <br /> <br /> providing more training in high end skills, I would like to see the entire Ka'u coast <br /> <br /> preserved and, where possible, restored. 169-07 is a move towards the regeneration of a <br /> native Hawaiian landscape, not a money making scheme which tears a hole in the heart <br /> and soul of that landscape. Conservation and restoration of the deeply damaged <br /> indigenous web of life are worthy ends in and of themselves while also generating jobs <br /> and providing the base for one of the fastest growing industries-eco-tourism. <br /> 169-07 is a rare opportunity and I urge you to not let it slip away. Passing this <br /> resolution will help save Punalu'u, help keep Ka'u affordable, take another step towards <br /> preserving a unique and strikingly beautiful coastline in Hawaii and create jobs. Thank <br /> <br /> you. <br /> s~~:~ i?o~b;v,S <br /> p, 3ok r~o~7 <br /> auk 2~~, E{--~ q 6 ~ -t z. <br /> ~z~ - ~ z~~ <br /> <br />
