This <br />will have a very negative impact when these places fall down, burn up, blow away <br />B- Bill 270 harms poor people. Need better housing options (allow cabins, etc.) <br />B- county housing has rules that do not mash out with the people that live there. <br />B- housing is overpriced and of poor quality, with the County's adoption of Bill 270 it will <br />mean the prices will go even higher and housing stock will probably reduced for being <br />"substandard" <br />B- make building code amenable to alternative designs <br />B- It's important that home owners are not over taxed or enslaved by unreasonable new <br />zoning laws that make it impossible to keep up their homes. New or rebuilt homes <br />should be able to apply for a more econimical sesspool on a case by case basis. They <br />should not have to replace perfectly good windows with prohibitively expensive <br />materials and designs that are irrelevant in our climate. I'd like to see a village style <br />town -home community for low income people. <br />B- Most of the houses in Pahoa are several decade olds and add to the charm of the <br />town. I did not move to Pahoa to have a cold, modern, mainland town. New houses <br />and businesses should be required to blend into the architecture of the area and not be <br />ugly like Long's, KFC, and Burger King. <br />B- Much run down and sub standard housing in this area. <br />B- Need incentives for people to fix up their houses and especially the old houses that <br />have character and contribute to the vintage feel of old Hawaii in the old part of Pahoa. <br />Without that old town part, Pahoa is just Longs Drugs and KFC, which is disgusting and <br />makes me want to move away from here and not encourage people to even visit this <br />town that has such poor zoning and planning. How could we let this happen to Pahoa <br />that it is becoming a strip mall. Longs Drugs has way too much signage. It is the most <br />visible and yet ugliest builing in town. <br />B- needs better control on building codes enforcement <br />B- Poor overall appearance <br />Housing Page 1 <br />
