Maybe if the 'county sucks' chorus was a little larger
People have been saying that for years.
If the subdivisions were united into a "Federation of Associations", we might get what we want from County, with the potential downside that we'd have to pay for it.
I am not interested in a monetary settlement, nor do I want full infrastructure; I want County to stop pretending that "The Rules" are equally relevant and applicable to all situations. We need legitimate exemptions to "The Code", some kind of "alternative" or "sustainable" regulations that actually make sense for the reality that is rural Hawaii.
It's not just "the roads", but these are the most visible symptom. (While I sympathize with HPP's "fugitive dust" problem ... it's also really funny in a twisted sort of "how the hell did we end up here" kind of way, enough so that it makes a great poster child for people not familiar with the issues.)
