Support for four new homes in our Kaloko community
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed
building project of four new homes in our community. This initiative aims to provide modest,
affordable housing for hardworking local professionals.
As a resident of Kailua Kona, I have witnessed firsthand the increasing difficulty that many local
professionals face in finding suitable and affordable housing. This project represents a significant
step towards addressing this critical issue. By ensuring that these homes are allocated to local
professionals, we are investing in the stability and growth of our community.
These new homes will not only provide much -needed housing but will also help maintain the
fabric of our local community by supporting those who contribute to its daily life and economy.
Essential professionals who sustain our community deserve the opportunity to live close to
where they work.
Additionally, by focusing on creating housing for local residents rather than vacation rentals, we
can mitigate some of the pressures that tourism places on our housing market. This approach
helps preserve the character and sense of community that makes Hawaii such a wonderful place
to live.
I strongly urge the council to approve this project, as it aligns with the long-term interests of our
community and supports those who are integral to its success and well-being, Thank you For
considering my perspective, and I hope you will support this important initiative,
Sincerely,
Mary Teshima Meheula
