Subject: Vote Unfavorable Recommendation on the Hawaii GP 2045!
Date: Thursday, March 6,2025 2:01:19 PM
The Big Island General Plan is very long and complicated. I know most of these
political documents are written so that the average person cannot understand them
and make it so it is overwhelming. One has to study it throughly and most will not and
cannot as it is so hard to comprehend.
However, owning property and land here on the Northern tip I can see this plan is not
in favor of the people who have lived and worked their land for years. I am so
disappointed that this plan would even be recommended. I am not sure who you
people are and why you would even favor it. I wonder if our government is putting
plants into these positions and they aren't even living here and don't care about the
people or the state of Hawaii. This is a beloved place and you are planning to
devastate this beautiful place and the people. Please wake up and let God guide you
for the benefit of all of us. It's becoming a very scary place to live.
Thanks for your consideration.
Concerns Include:
• Land Use Titles changing Residential to Recreation DROPS property value
• The plan could set up MANY opportunities for the State to take your land &
Rezone
• The plan could regulate OFF-GRID living
• The plan will further STRESS the electric grid by increasing prices. They want
to create a Smart Grid and Broadband infrastructure that will dig up roads to
lay WIFI cable underground that will be on all the time
• Most of the Big Island will change to Conservation land (only a park can be on
it) or Natural land (no people, buildings, or farming). How will Hawaii
Homelands give land back to Hawaiians?
