i think something is getting forgotten here.
i saw this in lake tahoe years ago when valley people started moving up into what 'we' considered 'our little town'. interestingly enough the reasons the valley people were moving to tahoe for, was exactly what they started dismantling and 'improving'.
these speed bumps have a purpose ... to slow cars down.
the people may have paid for the bumps and their installation, but first they had to prove to the HOA that there was a need for the bumps ... people were speeding!
and no matter how many people think they are parnelli jones, dave unser or speed racer, the truth is there is no room in a residential neighborhood for speeding. not everyone in the shores, shores rec, beaches and parks(or any other,, subdivision) is an old goat(like me). there are families with kekei, kids on bikes, kids in the street playing ball, just being kids. the roads are not just for driving like its all yours, parnelli!
yes, there is a boatload(choke) retirees from the mainland with no kids and possibly feeling 'the right' ... maybe because they paid cash for their piece of paradise and 'deserve' to have unfettered use of the roads ... remember, so do the families.
im a ha'ole, im a guest. i wasnt born here and if the people that were(and are) are kind enough ... ill die here. but before i came here, it wasnt my home, it was someone elses. can we, the late comers show a little respect for our surroundings?
honking horns??? are you kidding me? what is this, the 3rd grade? lets slow it down about 50%. its a freakin island, where you going that you need to drive so fast? leave earlier! just slow down ... take a deep breath and remember the paradise you fell in love with. quiet and slow, warm and friendly. 'dont be so mainland!'.
ask yourself, are you starting the same stuff you left the mainland about? relax, drop the car into 3rd gear and chill, enjoy the view and remember the reason you moved here.
speed bumps??? who cares!?!?!
remember folks, when you get off pavement ... its all speed bumps!
mahalo
da dude
