"all of the late night hanging out and wild-ing on our subdivision's front lawn" sounds like someone is pissed off they weren't invited to the party."
Carol, that is so silly that it doesn't even deserve a response and yet I would like to say this. I know that it really makes it easy to accept and rationalize all of what has been done by making it a personal thing between us and Graham. Yet, don't we have a right to disagree with bad legislation without it being a personal thing? There is so much more to this story besides the ohia tree death or encroachment on the state land or growing a few more marijuana plants then your medical permit allows.
Just for your information, Carol, there were two things that were needed for SPACE market to continue operating in Seaview Subdivision. It had to do with HVC's amendments to their special use permit 1122 that they submitted that required a traffic analysis study and some kind of final assessment report. Neither one was done correctly. I really don't care how many unpermitted structures were on their land. I care about nonprofits writing legislation to benefit themselves.
A nonprofit is to be held to a higher standard than the ordinary citizen even in the back of lower Puna. Nonprofits are NOT allowed to involve themselves in direct legislation or grassroots lobbing let alone writing it and handing it to a freshman Senator to champion. We have two 501c3s, one to the left and one to the right of us, in Seaview estates who have hui-ed up with 5 other fairly new 501c3s to write and support direct legislation. In case you don't know this it is totally illegal and is one of the only things you can do to have automatic revocation. Not even a moratorium!
This is because nonprofits are given so much...we must make sure they are not using their nonprofit mailing list to push political legislation and political agendas with politicians and regulatory commissions. They can advocate for policy changes as long as it is not about specific legislation not to mention admittedly authoring it.
I only have 2 more post left so I have to get it all in and hopefully give you something to chew on.
P.S. Could you please give me some examples were I am being "personal".
