Aloha Council Members,
I support the testimony submitted by Graham Ellis on behalf of the HSCA. Please
strike out section 5 -61. We need an alternative building code for our island. This
new code, if passed as is, will be as unenforceable as the present one. How can
you fine a family if they already do not have enough money? Who would you send
to our overcrowded prisons ?....The Dad? The Mom? The kids? Are you
suggesting that they be forced from their home and join the growing population of
homeless people? An alternative code could bring thousands of people relief from
the stigma of illegality and maybe even gain them some respect and appreciation
for being innovative and creative. Those who can afford it could even apply for a
permit and give the county some money.
have submitted similar testimony before and have received no reply or
answers to any of my questions. I am speaking as chair of, and on behalf of, the
Koa,e Community Association which represents over 100 people in the Koa,e
area. As I have mentioned previously, in our neighborhood we focus on how
people behave and NOT on what kind of structure they choose to live in.
I welcome replies and I would especially like a reply from the office of Fred
Blas as he is our coucilmember.
