3) I'm also stating my objection that this document clearly doesn't reflect a consultation <br /> with communities on the island created for their benefit and for a future generation to anticipate <br /> growth and prosperity. Many of the challenges we currently experience are absent from this plan. <br /> • We are a primarily rural island with a vast and under-utilized potential in our agricultural sector <br /> and yet this document appears to be heavily slanted toward urban density housing <br /> development. <br /> • No explanation is provided as to 'why' this is a driving value in this document (but again, <br /> pointing out that the proposals for urban density, cluster housing is also the basis for SMART <br /> city design and for 15 minute cities built on a premise of monitoring carbon and limiting the <br /> freedom to travel) <br /> 4) A truly useful planning document would be addressing the need for growth in the agriculture sector <br /> but instead we see references to acquistion of private land for the purposes of 'buffer zones' and we <br /> see intentions to legislate what farming activities will be 'permitted' on privately owned agricultural <br /> lands. These kinds of proposals reek of socialism and inappropriate levels of control. They most <br /> certainly don't reflect concerns or demands of our island communities. <br /> 5) Instead of references to plans for economic growth we See multiple references in this General <br /> Plan to measures that will result accumulation of debt via 'public private partnerships' to finance <br /> infrastructure investments (for development projects) and we see suggestions that the island's future <br /> will see increased welfare programs. <br /> 6) Very concerning are the repeated references to incentives and measures designed to 'limit' <br /> vehicular travel since this is a clear and stated intention to violate constitutional rights of every <br /> individual to travel freely without interference. <br /> 7) To justify measures such as 'limiting' the vehicular travel we see references to 'climate change' <br /> which has specifically been challenged as a 'theory.' Carbon modeling has been identified as flawed <br /> by over one thousand scientists and <br /> 8)Yet one more unconstitutional overreach in this document has to do with interference with property <br /> rights. There are people reviewing this plan and discovering that their home is rezoned from <br /> residential to 'recreation and conservation.' Many of the public are still unaware of the changes in <br /> zoning and they were never informed or consulted ahead of the change in zoning. That designation is <br /> referenced in documents from 'Council of Foreign Relations' who originally created Agenda 2021 . <br /> This has since been adopted and refined by World Economic Forum and the main objective is to <br /> relocate 'human settlement' patterns into high density 'cluster' patterns and to remove humans from <br /> areas that are to be designated as 'wild lands.' That our County of Hawaii Planning Department <br /> would attempt to rezone property without consultation or engagement with legislature amounts to <br /> such gross interference with property rights as to be considered by many as fraud and financial crime. <br /> There doesn't seem to be a 'nicer' way to express how serious this appears to be. Again, rezoning <br /> private property zero reflects the concerns of our island residents that were expressed at any time <br /> during the public consultation process. . <br /> 9) A significant objection is that instead of providing a plan for economic growth and sound <br /> development, this document reads as a plan for massive levels of development without explanation <br /> or context. Which population will be taking up all of the urban development alluded to in this <br /> document ? Where is the plan to support the current residents of the island to prosper and flourish? If <br /> no economic plan then why and how would it make sense to significantly replace the population? <br /> 2 <br />
