developments like this. Okay? So that’s why I’m thinking that you may as a residential concern lose value because of the fact that you talked about. But on the other hand just the general increase in the property value in my mind that would bump value generally in the area. NISHIDA: Again, it goes back to it’s a Single Family Neighborhood and when people buy in a Single Family Neighborhood they’re looking for a home that would conform with that neighborhood. And all you have to do is just go a few blocks down, you know, towards, on Kapiolani closer to town and there you have that mixed neighborhood of apartment buildings next to single family homes; and that neighborhood is not as desirable. As a matter of fact we looked at buying a home that is now on foreclosure on that street, and it has been on the market for over two years, and it’s now half the price of what it was when it was listed two years ago when we were looking at the home that we bought here. And it’s just a matter of fact that when you have that kind of high density in a Single Family Neighborhood where all of a sudden your views are of, you know, hundreds of people looking in your back yard, those property values decline. And that’s, you know, that’s just the way it is. And that’s our immediate concern, is that we understand that the properties need to be, you know, that the property owner has a right to develop his property, and we have no problem with it being developed to its current zoning. But for it to be allowed to be rezoned so that they can, you know, obviously develop the property for a profit but come out of our pockets and we’re the hard working, you know, local families paying the taxes, it’s very upsetting for those of us in the neighborhood. And that’s the thing that we don’t feel has ever been addressed. No one has ever come to us and said, hey, how can we work this problem out together. There has never been any dialogue. And that’s where, and actually I was even told recently that the lawyer that represents the developer had said they wanted to know who was stirring the neighborhood. And that’s really upsetting, you know, who’s stirring up the neighborhood. We’re a neighborhood, we’re neighbors. We, you know, we have concerns about what goes on in our neighborhood. That’s what neighbors do, is we watch out for one another. And that’s something that, you know, it’s upsetting that a whole neighborhood is just being dismissed. And that’s where we want to make sure that the neighborhood, all of the neighborhoods, you know what their viewpoints are are being considered; and we don’t feel at this point that they have been. And we’d like to do whatever we can to make sure that the neighborhood is, all of the opinions of all of the neighborhoods are clearly being heard. And we’re willing to do whatever you want us to do; and we ask that you let us know what we need to do so that we can provide you with whatever documentation or evidence or whatever you need so that our viewpoint is heard. WOODWARD: All right, thank you. Any further questions? Okay, seeing none, Mr. Lee, if you can give us your name and address, and then you may begin your testimony. LEE: Yeah, my name is Robert Lee. I live at 73 Hale Nani Street. I’ve lived there about 7 or 8 years, I think. I consider the neighborhood to be the best neighborhood I’ve ever lived in. I have better relations with my neighbors there than anywhere I’ve ever lived. Charlene kind of said about everything I wanted to say, but I’ll add a few comments. From my front yard on a clear day I have a beautiful view of Mauna Kea. If it’s snowing in the winter I see snow up there; and it’s very pleasant. When these buildings are built they’re either 9 EXHIBIT A
