@rainyjim. All of the roads in Orchidland are considered one single, very strangely shaped lot, which is jointly owned by every landowner in Orchidland. So the County would not be responsible at all. The roads are private property, and any dispute arising on private property would be dealt with as such. Any taxes you pay goes to maintenance of the county or state roads you use. And the County is reluctant to take this issue on because there are 700 miles of "privately owned, publicly accessible" roads in Puna. It would require a half billion dollars to fix ALL the roads. So who gets first? If they fix even one mile of the 700, Pandora's Box is suddenly open...
