Oh the bane of HA as a whole.The poor or excellent condition of our road lot.All 74.8 miles of this excellent sub standard path in and out to civilization .
In our walks we speak with many old timers and new comers,on a recent saturday walk - we met a very smart old timer.
He like us,pay the HARC dues on only one of our many lots.His comment summed up the entire subject.
If you want the lettered road to your home repaired,join the HARC board.You will have 3 years to repair the lettered road to your homestead.
When we bought our 1st 3 side by side lots in 1960 here in HA,it took 3 and a half hours to get to Sako store each way,in granny low 1st gear in the old chug a lug 1943 military jeep we bought at an auction of military used vehicles.
The lots were at the time $ 400.00 each.
No infrastructure in the aches at all.Road 11 was the best way in and out from D to the front and then out to Sako's via the cane haul roads .
Today we are blessed with pavement that the county sort of maintains but many of us drive down the middle of the road from C to the "T" as far to many poorly maintained patches they call repairs.
In our walks in HA,some cross streets as in numbered roads are in amazing shape and clear sailing and well graveled,mowed and looks like pride from the residents who own their lots,while other numbered roads are pure crap where no one cares.
We are most lucky not to have covenants like in leilani or Hawaiian Shores,and no mandatory dues.
We have made our own antenna's with all recycled materials and bamboo so we have fast internet and TV.
We do not need to pay kala to have what others pay for,any one can do this,with a little bit of electronics knowledge .There are some old timers like ourselves in HA who create their own infrastructures instead of grumble .
My husband will start a new thread in puna web soon on DIY recycle in simple well thought out instructions so we will all help ourselves be better and happier residents of Hawaii the Island.The thread can go into all catagories actually but punatalk seems the most read .
Bottom line is,if you want your roads fixed to your homestead,you can either wait years for HARC to maybe do something,OR you can hui your green paper and fix your own area to your homestead or just pay it your self and all with a smile and grace.No need permissions from HARC to make improvements.
Many years ago,we helped put in the concrete slab that elevates Road C at 9Rd so in the deep and fast running white water that happens every so often emergency services and residents alike can navigate.We also helped with the concrete bridge section on Road 10 and C towards Road D.
We recall seeing our photo's in one of the older online HACA sites.
The bane of Hawaiian Acres is the condition of the road lot to your homestead,no matter if you are on pave or not.
