Thank you forgivingme the opportunity to input into the General Planprocess.
I agree with the attached addresses and pdfs created attachedto this email atthebottom.Please considerand apply thechanges to TheGeneral Plan.Weneed more emphasis on ourlocalinvolvement and the
inspiration to embrace andpromote participation forthe highestgood.
Effective local community engagement and management arecrucial forthesuccess and sustainability ofany initiative,as it helps ensurethat diverseperspectives and interests areconsidered.
The"Stakeholder"definitionshould beconsideredseriously as totheapplicationand intention for allowing less than desirable outcomes to thedirection ofinterests andcontrol.Local Communities arethe
prime energies to directthe success and healthy lifeon the Island.Moreemphasis should focus on inspiring community involvement as this creates healthypurposefortheresidents hereand works toward
unity andsuccess ofmore ofthe residents.
OSCER'S team are indoctrinated educatedoff islandyoung peoplewithlimitedknowledge andexperienceofthecultural aspects anddesirableprogress forthepeoplehere ontheisland.Planshavebeen
handed down world wide from a hierarchy ofunelected officials as a format for change based on terms as"smut'and"sustainable"and"climate".This has been infiltrated into the education systems. The
term"Smut"mayhavethe promotion ofintelligence,but it loses overallwhen embracing details andtruth that comefromthealoha.Sustainable should be clangedto aspirations and desires toward outcomes,
this means ifs always evolving based on changeand understanding.
Climatehas notyet addressedthe heating oftheatmosphere andweatherpatterns by the electric communications,satellites and haarp and suchdevices or thegeoengineering ofthe weather.Howmanytowers
and what metheir effecton the communities environments,mental impact and biological outcomes. Themanipulation ofour planetand itspopulation through technology and theattention pushing people
toward ignoring the surrounding am&is proving to be detrimental and no one is addressing this fact.Yet blaming it on the people and fossil fuels,where green technology is not proving a perfect solution either
and is polluting the planet also.Mostimplementations ofsystems me setupbythe unelected officials and corporateentities that glean theprofits by itsoutcome,yetlobbied and promotedinto government
systems.
Changing zoning and lowering property values is a huge question.Ifyou lookat the designation ofresident to re-creation.What is being re-created?The people were all ready established on their property.
Value?Whatisthe truevalue ofa property,but it's stewardship and usetonurture the life created there-ifs sacredspace tothe inhabitants.It seems thevalue benefits me focusedand directed to the tax
assessors or real estate sales and profits and now toward a general plan.Not working with the true value of the aim and its inhabitants.
Havevisitedwithan appraiser herein Hawaii stating they started using Marshall and SwiftBoeckhsoftware forappraisal.
around Covid.Theproperties have doubled and tripled inmany cases herein the last fewyears.Withcommercial RE beinghit hard.
Ifyouto the links throughtheweb Marshall&Swift/Boeckh company whichwasboughtoutby Corelogicwhichwas boughtup by StonePointCapital andwithInsight Partners.These are global venture
fl m Theymakethesecompanies looklike they are small operations..they arenot.Iwould considerthatallinformationfor landandpropertyis at thelands ofthese largecorporate firms for
manipulation ofthe people along with census statistics.
I find it interestingthatifevery city(which Iknow oneother city recently brought their software in)isusing theirsoftware these corporations with investors me driving up themarkets fortheirprofits andcould
be influencing price strategies across theworld.Withtheprinting ofmoneyand redirection ofwealth this is all tied into land acquisition ofmegaproportion.
Weneed to question everything andtheintention andpower behind it.Because ofthese increasesmigrationacross the country has happenedandbusinesses have closed andpeople can'tafford properties
which has driven the homeless situation and housing crisis.Look at what has happened in downtown Kailua with the businesses and puking-where does this stem from.Now we have a plan that transitions
property ownership and businessesasasteal by forceofeconomic planning.
I stand with the changes submitted here as alternatives and additions to the Plan.
Please consider and reviewthe changesneeded topromote our Hawaii Island community.
Thank you

Our common welfare should come first personal progress foi the greatest number depends rypon unity_
This plan wants to turn land into"conservation".The exact opposite is what is needed for Big Island!
We need to turn land into Ag Villages and grow more food!Steve Shropshire,a resident of
Papaikou,has created an Ag Villages plan.
Ag Village to add to the General Plan:
