If we do not addre~'s~E~i3s problem now, it <br /> will just be in your in-box year after year. And each year it will get more difficult-to <br /> address. <br /> F`~'i_ <br /> NO - we do not need superstores on this island. we already have plenty and you know their <br /> history of damaging small business. Even in Waimea, with no superstore, Blockbuster drove <br /> two video stores out of business. Traffic is already a nightmare in KK, why would we want <br /> to approve more grand development until it gets to the point where traffic is a nightmare <br /> everywhere? On an island with only one road to get to most places, it is JUST NOT <br /> REASONABLE to construct more buildings that will bring huge numbers of cars to one <br /> location. <br /> You might wantto consider that profits on the part of the superstores (which, of course, <br /> do not stay in the community) do NOT outweigh priority of quality of life for which most <br /> people have moved here. Not to mention the quality of life of the people who grew up k;ere <br /> - most people like the quieter nature of the Big Island and do not desire it to resemble a <br /> smaller version of southern California. Anything you cannot currently buy at Walmart, <br /> Kmart, Safeway, Costco, and soon, Target, you can probably get online. 2 just donut see <br /> the necessity. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> <br /> Alexandra Bernstein <br /> Kamuela, Hawaii, USA <br /> <br /> bcc: to people 2 copied on this, please take a moment to let the County Council know how <br /> <br /> you feel about this issue that they will consider tomorrow. <br /> Test your celebrity IQ.
