We pay our taxes to build infrastructure elsewhere in the island, and we have A BIG ZERO ON INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE Park!
I pay taxes, and my subdivision gets nothing either. What's your point again?
Why doesn't HPP surrender all its' roads to the County?
County will only accept roads which have already been brought up to "standard", per code this is a 40-foot wide paved surface on a 60-foot easement. Can't speak for HPP (without digging out my copy of the plats), but most subdivision roads are only 40-feet of property, which means they can never meet the "standard" and therefore will never be accepted by County, no matter how nice the pavement is, and despite the existence of other County roads which do not meet these requirements (Post Office Road in Pahoa as but one example).
Can't win a rigged game if you play by the published rules...
Anyone ever heard of Alviso, California? They were annexed (and taxed) by the City of San Jose, but received no services (despite paying taxes). Their solution was to set up a toll gate; the ensuing media circus embarrased the City...
HPP should put up a couple of gates and start charging non-residents. If the County takes issue with that, drag them into Federal court for violation of HPP's fourth amendment rights.
Hawaiian Acres should do the same thing right at the top of Road 8. Especially when the commuters start using the "Emergency Access" to bypass the construction at Shower.
Or we can all keep complaining on a pseudonymous internet forum, because that's obviously productive.
