JohnPatrick Carroll <br />7th grade <br />Volcano School of Arts and Sciences <br />Volcano, Hawaii 96785 <br />February 5, 2019 <br />Charter Commission <br />Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br />Dear Commissioners, <br />Regarding the 2% land fund program <br />Aloha, my name is J.P., my parents names are Jonathan Carroll and Jessica Carroll. <br />We live in Fern Acres, Mt.View. I love going to Kawa two times a month because <br />we get to do hands on work, learn Hawaiian history, and learn about plants. <br />Another thing I like about Kawa is its solitary location, so all you can see and hear <br />is nature, not people or cars. <br />When my relatives visit from the mainland we always show them interesting and <br />fun stuff all over Hawaii. Most of the places we show our family everybody knows <br />about, so I'm glad we take trips to Kawa so when people visit I can show them the <br />real Hawaii with heiaus, other artifacts, beaches and ponds, all of which I might <br />add, are not covered in plaques or full of tourists. I think it's important that Kawa <br />stays the way it is because of all of the history that happened there. <br />Three times 63 percent of people voted to keep the 2 percent land fund. If we lose <br />the 2% land fund we will not be able to purchase Waikapuna and will probably <br />become covered in hotels and airbnbs. If that happens the house prices will go up <br />because more people are moving here and there is no space for houses. That's why <br />other islands houses are so expensive, because there are too many people and no <br />space. <br />Comm. No. 21.142 <br />
