Aloha My 2 Cents,
I have read so many documents (minutes, emails, attorney conversations, and more) where Paradise Hui Hanalike (now HPPOA) have approached the County about taking over the main roads. The County has never been interested. And they are definitely not interested in all the secondary roads. Because the way the County sees it, why should they pay for something they get to use for free (during the eruption, weather emergencies, etc.)
Another reason for the County's disinterest in HPP roads is that way back in 1975 when Paradise Hui Hanalike (now HPPOA) decided to initiate the never ending lawsuit process, they sued not only Watumull but the County too. And while Watumull settled and GAVE Paradise Hui Hanalike (now HPPOA) everything they wanted, the County (using a County court and a County judge) basically told HPPOA to eat dirt, and it was ordered that the County had no obligation "for perpetuity" to accept and maintain HPP roads.
As for home delivery I personally think if Owners stomped on the USPS instead of rolling and allowing USPS to take the easy and REALLY affordable way out for themselves, by basically bribing HPPOA (and Owners) with "free" mailboxes, it might be possible to look into establishing "City Delivery Service," which more aptly fits HPP's setup and is still on the USPS books as an option.
