From: Keliikanakaole Ioane <br /> To: WPCtestimony <br /> Subject: Oppose PL-SMA-2023-000046 <br /> Date: Sunday,March 3,2024 7:01:09 PM <br /> Aloha, <br /> My name is Keli'i Ioane and would like to testify in opposition of approving PL-SMA-2023-000046. <br /> There are a number of reasons why the construction of this community is both unadvisable and undesirable. <br /> For myself,the number one reason I feel the construction of this community is detrimental to the quality of life of <br /> Big Island residents,is for the simple fact that Kau is the last bastion on this island where the pressures of <br /> gentrification are weaker than elsewhere. <br /> I believe,as do most of Hawaii's residents,that gentrification is the biggest problem facing our local communities <br /> today.And is it not the responsibility of our county and state governing bodies to serve and assist our residents?To <br /> help us find ways to mitigate our systemic issues and improve our overall quality of life?I believe it is. <br /> In this light I would like to oppose the approval of PL-SMA-2023-000046 and request the planning commission to <br /> schedule another meeting on a weekend day so that more working people may attend. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Keli'i Ioane <br />
