Hawaiian Acres Roads

[Tink]

Bullwinkle...If directed at me, you don't know me. I have lived on just about every island that is inhabitable, being chased off by the" Disneyfication" called tourism. I spent my summers as a young child with my great aunt in Honolulu's "jungle" (area by channel maulka side Waikiki), after Army lived on Maui 'till the mayor claimed he was going to cater to the "young urban professional" tourist, and watched the island die until I could' stand it anymore. Sewage stink, dead fish, Marine Sanctuary (Molokini) abused, and still abused by too many people in the "pool". Kauai was nice and quiet until they allowed waterskiing on the Wailua river. On to Nicaragua where the roads have rain ruts so deep they rip off mirrors and door handles if you fall into one. Life was simple and good, but government not too friendly to outsiders. So, back to mainland temporary again to save up $$$ ( part time work at min wage doesn't cut it) and was considering BI for a somewhat remote, community oriented (read all work together to survive). You seem to have a bit of a grudge on outsiders, but it is the elected officials that allowed big bucks hotel chains come in for the sake of tourism, but don't demand they pay $$$$ for sewage treatment upgrades, highway maintenance, fire stations for emergency response, etc. to handle the population surge during the "season", and the added expense of upkeep of the islands from all the people. My opinions are based on my experiences in life, not trying to change things, just giving the people "another view" on the situation to ponder, hopefully creating a solution for them. Mahalo
