SubjecC HERE 17 Date. Thwstlay November 2l�,2629991::ib AMRy Thank you for giving me the opportunity to input into the General Plan process. I agree with the attached addresses and pdf s created attached to this email at the bottom.Please consider and apply the changes to The General Plan.We need more emphasis on our local involvement and the inspiration to embrace and promote participation for the highest good. Effective local community engagement and management are crucial for the success and sustainability of any initiative,as it helps ensure that diverse perspectives and interests are considered. The"Stakeholder"definition should be considered seriously as to the application and intention for allowing less than desirable outcomes to the direction of interests and control.Local Communities are the prime energies to direct the success and healthy life on the Island.More emphasis should focus on inspiring community involvement as this creates healthy purpose for the residents here and works toward unity and success ofmore ofthe residents. OSCER'S team are indoctrinated educated off island young people with limited knowledge and experience of the cultural aspects and desirable progress for the people here on the island.Plans have been handed down world wide from a hierarchy of unelected officials as a format for change based on terms as"smut'and"sustainable"and"climate".This has been infiltrated into the education systems. The term"Smut"may have the promotion of intelligence,but it loses overall when embracing details and truth that come from the aloha.Sustainable should be clanged to aspirations and desires toward outcomes, this means ifs always evolving based on change and understanding. Climate has not yet addressed the heating of the atmosphere and weather patterns by the electric communications,satellites and haarp and such devices or the geoengineering of the weather.How many towers and what me their effect on the communities environments,mental impact and biological outcomes. The manipulation of our planet and its population through technology and the attention pushing people toward ignoring the surrounding am&is proving to be detrimental and no one is addressing this fact.Yet blaming it on the people and fossil fuels,where green technology is not proving a perfect solution either and is polluting the planet also.Most implementations of systems me set up by the unelected officials and corporate entities that glean the profits by its outcome,yet lobbied and promoted into government systems. Changing zoning and lowering property values is a huge question.If you look at the designation of resident to re-creation.What is being re-created?The people were all ready established on their property. Value?What is the true value of a property,but it's stewardship and use to nurture the life created there-ifs sacred space to the inhabitants.It seems the value benefits me focused and directed to the tax assessors or real estate sales and profits and now toward a general plan.Not working with the true value of the aim and its inhabitants. Have visited with an appraiser here in Hawaii stating they started using Marshall and SwiftBoeckh software for appraisal. around Covid.The properties have doubled and tripled in many cases here in the last few years.With commercial RE being hit hard. If you to the links through the web Marshall&Swift/B oeckh company which was bought out by Corelogic which was bought up by Stone Point Capital and with Insight Partners.These are global venture ...fl m They make these companies look like they are small operations..they are not.I would consider that all information for land and property is at the lands of these large corporate firms for manipulation of the people along with census statistics. I find it interesting that if every city(which I know one other city recently brought their software in)is using their software these corporations with investors me driving up the markets for their profits and could be influencing price strategies across the world.With the printing of money and redirection of wealth this is all tied into land acquisition of mega proportion. We need to question everything and the intention and power behind it.Because of these increases migration across the country has happened and businesses have closed and people can't afford properties which has driven the homeless situation and housing crisis.Look at what has happened in downtown Kailua with the businesses and puking-where does this stem from.Now we have a plan that transitions property ownership and businesses as a steal by force of economic planning. I stand with the changes submitted here as alternatives and additions to the Plan. Please consider and review the changes needed to promote our Hawaii Island community. Thank you SaraNee Kittom Our common welfare should come first personal progress foi the greatest number depends rypon unity_ This plan wants to turn land into"conservation".The exact opposite is what is needed for Big Island! We need to turn land into Ag Villages and grow more food!Steve Shropshire,a resident of Papaikou,has created an Ag Villages plan.
