Subject: Why the General Plan is anti-people
To: Hawaii Island Planning Department,
The final draft of the Big Island general plan needs to be thrown-out.
The General Plan is vague, and it is obvious that the objective is to put people into dense housing
and to restrict travel.
The buzz word "Sustainability" is repeatedly used in the Plan - because it sounds good.
But it does not support small farmers and food growing. Hawaii was prosperous during the 1800s
and produced much food, and the abundance was exported.
Now, the cane fields have grown fallow and the jungle reclaimed farmlands.
This new General Plan did not originate in Hawaii, but is replicated throughout the United States with
the same shady words like: cluster, stakeholder, buffer zones, change codes, amend.
Yours truly,
Donna Grabow
