From: Donna Z Grabow <br /> To: LPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: Aloha,General Plan 2045 <br /> Date: Tuesday, February 4, 2025 8:03:48 PM <br /> My name is Donna Grabow and there are many reasons to reject the entire General Plan 2045. <br /> There are so many homes that are already so many vacant,foreclosed homes because of high <br /> interest loans. <br /> Yet The Plan promotes relocating people into new cluster housing The Plan has a list of vague <br /> rules for smart transportation in smart communities. <br /> There is part of the Plan that mentions agricultural growth,but the details of sustainability are <br /> not feasible. Farming Expansion needs land,workers and machinery, all of which are limited. <br /> Dependence on imported food will still persist. <br /> If the mistake is made to implement parts of the Plan,then communities of islands can be <br /> turned into controlled, dystopian housing projects. <br /> A sterile technocratic culture would replace the friendly Polynesian culture that is so <br /> treasured. <br /> In the General Plan,it's been discovered that a new map was either tampered with, or <br /> mistakenly mislabled an area that is actually Urban land. <br /> The new map has somehow been redesignated as 'Conservation land.' <br /> This slight of hand would give the State a green light to prohibit homes,farming or building. <br /> On the last note-Keep Hawaii the way it is. There are already plenty of Forest Reserves, <br /> Hawaiian Public Lands, and lots of well-planned parks,beautiful beaches,waterfalls, a free <br /> zoo and botanicial gardens, all which are available to the public. This is a wonderful place to <br /> live. I'm so lucky to live on Moku o Keawe. <br /> The General Plan is not the ONLY choice. <br /> There are much better ideas and clean technology to be considered. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Donna Grabow <br /> Hilo <br />
