I agree, but on the other hand, I've found that if you drive the road at it's posted speed it is safe. There does seem to be a lack of traffic enforcement. I don't see the advantage of bringing the two sides together.East Hawaii will lose on that exchange. That is too far for a daily work commute and a waste of resourses. If you work in Kona you should live in Kona.
Well as a lifelong resident I can
see the benefits of this. Unless we
really want to split Hawaii County
into two counties, as it stands now
the county seat is in Hilo.
There is a lot of people who want the
county split.As West Hawaii produces
70% of the property taxes, but gets
very little in return. Thus aside from kicking out the bums in office, making
it easier to get back and forth between
East and West Hawaii will have a profound
impact.
As for the job aspect, I'm sorry to say
due to the lack of affordable housing in
West Hawaii people will have to commute
long distances until that is mitigated.
