Rob,
See Punaticbychoice's post above for the first mention of NIMBY.
I am just tired of cheap shots being taken at HPP residents whenever the PMAR comes up, like we are this powerful force preventing the PMAR from happening, when all the residents of HPP want is a voice at the table when this road gets put through. Unlike some on this forum, I only own one piece of property, my home, I do not have the resources to pick up and move when the PMAR gets put through my backyard because that is where the rich and powerful Bill Walters wants it, which means my peaceful home will turn into rapidly depreciating house with a busy roadway running through the back yard.
How would you feel if it was your backyard, or your rental house in Pahoa, or the middle of your farm being planned for the route of this busy road, and your voice is completely drowned out by the political pull of a rich and powerful family of large landowners?
