Roads Are Easements Not Planned Communities Or HOAs

[Patricia]

So let me ask you a few questions Patricia:

1. Did you or did you not know ANY of your facts as presented, from number 1 through 5c BEFORE you purchased your property and/or home in HPP? 

2. If not, then why not?

3. If yes, then why did you buy?

4. I assume that your reason for living in the property and/or home you bought in HPP is for your retirement. As such, how can you, why do you and why would you desire to spend your "golden years" fighting this seemingly endless fight you so seemingly and endlessly desire to fight?

5. If you could wave a magic wand, what would you do that would make you AND everyone else that lives in HPP happy as my dog Barney when I give him his favorite treat for the following topics:
A. Roads
B. Mail delivery (consistent with all applicable USPS standards)
C. HPPOA (or whatever name they were/are/should be) structure, functions and recourse against noncompliance.

I ask that your answers be answers, not convoluted and retorted questions back at me to answer. Please just answer the questions as I have asked them with sentences ending in periods.

Thanking you in advance, 

Julie

As I said, ask questions. 

Ok, I have one. Why should anyone believe a word you post?

HiloJulie, you appear to take everything I say, for some reason, as a personal affront. Should prospective buyers, or current owners who are looking at or have property in substandard subdivisions in Puna, Hawaii, not have the information I posted? 

And you "assume" wrongly. But then that is the problem with assumptions. (I assumed that I would be paying road maintenance fees for roads, which is what my deed pretty much states- and we all see where that has me.)

In answer to your numerous questions, 

I feel most people are happy with what they pay for- in this case, specifically, roads. If Owners are told they are paying road fees, agree to pay road fees ONLY, then that is all they should be required to pay- period.

As for mailboxes or anything else that is not roads? Those are separate issues, and would best be handled by our higher-ups (county and state reps, who right now are able to skate).

Lastly, any voluntary community association or road maintenance association should have some kind of oversight. Currently, there is nothing the state legislature has done to address this issue. Though,  they did have a bill they were working on, regarding planned communities, HOAs, and an "Oversight Task Force." Unfortunately, the state legislature is ALWAYS confusing road maintenance and voluntary community associations with planned communities and HOAs. So, until the state legislature understands the difference and stops pushing through well intentioned but bad law, the only recourse owners have against non-compliance is to sue. 

Hope this isn't too "convoluted" for you.
