Dear Council Members,

Council Testimony
Support Bill 181 D2
The General Plan (GP) doesn't address community concerns (Cultural landscapes,
environmental impact, affordable housing, open spaces, and economic diversity). This bill will give
people a chance to alter the GP and have a say in what happens to our island!
The GP promotes development without clarity, loopholes, favorable outcomes for offshore investors,
urban densification, and sprawl. Being vague will not protect the regeneration of Hawaii cultural
landscape and land -to -sea relationships.
The General Plan is very unclear. It doesn't produce useful, considerate rules or regulations to protect
Hawai'i from becoming another Lahaina (water diversion and overdevelopment, over -tourism, and
over -gated and exclusive wealthy communities).
Please support this bill.
John Burdick
Ocean View, Hi
