. She has cut down a great deal of vegetation on the site <br /> 3. She has cheated locals already <br /> .Guy Enriques explained atthe rally how Eva Liu promised to develop the <br /> water system 3 years ago so it could handle brushfires. So Guy helped her—he <br /> told her how to be successful. She took that information from Guy, but she <br /> never did her part. After3 years she has done nothing-- upgrade our <br /> substandard water system. But she did sell pizza atthe beach for her own <br /> pocket. <br /> .An excavation contracted did a great deal of work for her and she never paid <br /> him. Instead, when he was done, she fired him. He's pursuing the large <br /> payment he is owed. <br /> 4. We believe she is poisoning the springs by using Round-Up around the pond <br /> and elsewhere <br /> 3.7. The developers'values clash with those of Kau residents <br /> For ancient Hawaiians, land cannot be owned, it must be stewarded and conserved. For <br /> foreign investors, land is to be exploited. For locals,these lands are sacred. For investors they <br /> are portfolio holdings. <br /> 18. We believe that Kau residents are 95-99%opposed to this plan <br /> i9. The plan offers almost nothing the way of community benefit <br /> Let's develop a vision of how this could invest in Kau, not developers' bank accounts: <br /> This site could instead be developed with <br /> Low-cost housing, a critical need <br /> Atech school to help Kau youth with post-high school training in technology, <br /> culinary arts, mechanics, welding, carpentry, HVAC, accounting. <br /> A community garden where people can grow their own food in sustainable <br /> ways, learning skills like permaculture <br /> The focus of this site is more appropriately conservation, even by a developer <br /> Any plan should offer: <br /> Large conservation areas all along the beach to protect this treasure <br /> Tourist education on how to respectthe aina, and how Hawaiians stewarded <br /> these lands. <br /> 20. This development may become a vehicle for unrestrained foreign investment. <br /> This is what happened in Vancouver, Canada. It no longer supported residents but was <br /> taken over foreign investors and tourists. <br /> Local real estate prices were very low compared to those in China. <br /> There the development went far beyond what was first approved, and created a mini- <br /> Hong Kong in the cherished beautiful, natural area of Granville Island. Ultimately, <br /> locals were driven out by high real estate prices, and the area became a vehicle for <br /> organized crime and money-laundering. <br /> We ask you to please deny this SMA since these critical concerns have not been addressed. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Anne Celeste <br />
