Subject: Vote No on Hawaii County General Plan 2045
Date: Wednesday, February 5,2025 10:07:35 AM
Dear Planning Commissioners,
I fervently oppose any use of this plan for Hawaii County and demand that
this commission vote no on behalf of the people of Hawaii County.
This plan looks like a take-over of the lands of Hawaii County by rezoning
and limiting the development areas. It effectively limits where normal
people live, where they can go, where they shop, where and what kinds of
recreation they can have and do.
There is a reason that there is no projection of what build-out looks like,
because it will look bad for what life will be for the normal human being in
Hawaii County.
The wealthy who are planning this land reallocation do not want you to
know:
How many people can this plan support per square mile?
How does this number compute as to the number of people per square mile
in terms of the whole island?
How many of the people will own their own property?
What is the projected income of the average working class household?
How many people will be in this average household?
What are the economic drivers and their future projected growth?
What is the relationship between these economic drivers and the income of
the average working class household?
This plan addresses none of these issues that relate to quality of life, so
how can we possibly consider this as a plan that benefits "we the people"?
How can this commission possibly evaluate the impact that this plan will
have on our communities without real quality of life evaluations. You
must vote no on this imperial colonialist land reallocation and limitation plan.
Sincerely,
Ken Honma Kurtistown Hi 96760
