Kailua Kona used to be a beautiful two-lane road with great spots to stop and visit <br /> for everybody to enjoy,just like the southern tip of the Big Island is now. <br /> A big developer with lots of money wants to change all that, and turn it into another Kailua- <br /> Kona situation. Please don't let that happen! The thing that makes Hawaii special is the <br /> beautiful jungle and the beautiful beaches that we all get to enjoy. If The island is sold out to <br /> big developers with lots of money,who close off the beaches to people who aren't spending a <br /> fortune in their hotels,then everyone who lives here loses out as well as other visitors who are <br /> not staying in those particular hotels. <br /> Kailua- Kona has lost its most beautiful beaches to the resorts, and is virtually impossible to <br /> find your way around because of all of the commercial building and huge highways and <br /> gigantic resorts, multi-million dollar vacation homes. I used to go over to Kailua Kona a lot to <br /> visit the beaches, eat at the wonderful restaurants,visit the little stores and just enjoy it. I don't <br /> go over there now because I hate the traffic, can't get to my favorite beaches , and the prices <br /> have skyrocketed in an area where I cannot find any of my favorite places anymore. <br /> Please don't sell out more of Hawaii. There is not that much of the original beauty left. The <br /> Big Island is special because of that,please keep it that way. We still get a ton of visitors who <br /> leave lots of money during their visits,but please leave the rest of it for those of us who <br /> choose to live here or those who were born here and love the Aina.. <br /> Julie Blenn <br /> Hawaii Paradise Park. <br />
