some of them, probably most of them, are not protected from being developed into <br />places for hotels or overpriced homes. More than half of all voters on the Big <br />Island don't want this either, they don't want the Big Island turning into Kauai, <br />Oahu, or even Maui. These three places are not that affordable and locals have to <br />work about three jobs just to pay for homes they probably don't even own. If you <br />continue the fund and purchase more places like Waikapuna, the Big Island won't <br />be turned into them. <br />Kawa is a very special place and I hope that future generations will visit Kawa <br />and many other special places. This is only possible if you don't drop the 2% <br />percent land fund and continue to fund groups like Na Mamao o Kawa. Since we <br />have been down there, we have worked on springs, planted many native plants, <br />cleared overgrown vegetation, picked up garbage and learned about ancient <br />Hawai'i. I hope that kids in the future will be lucky enough to be able to have the <br />same experiences as my class and I. <br />Mahalo, Fiona <br />
