DeVera, Ashley <br /> From: donna grabow < <br /> Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2024 12:19 PM <br /> To: Planning General Plan <br /> Subject: Why the General Plan is anti-people <br /> To: Hawaii Island Planning Department, <br /> The final draft of the Big Island general plan needs to be thrown-out. <br /> The General Plan is vague, and it is obvious that the objective is to put people into dense housing <br /> and to restrict travel. <br /> The buzz word "Sustainability" is repeatedly used in the Plan - because it sounds good. <br /> But it does not support small farmers and food growing. Hawaii was prosperous during the 1800s <br /> and produced much food, and the abundance was exported. <br /> Now, the cane fields have grown fallow and the jungle reclaimed farmlands. <br /> This new General Plan did not originate in Hawaii, but is replicated throughout the United States with <br /> the same shady words like: cluster, stakeholder, buffer zones, change codes, amend. <br /> Yours truly, <br /> Donna Grabow <br /> Hilo <br />
