Letter to a State Representative dated 2/21/24
Thank you so much for getting back with me. It is much appreciated.
I have read Act 200. Interesting. Is there a way to keep me and other HPP Owners updated as to what is occurring? As in, what the committees is reviewing?
I have quite a bit of information/history regarding Paradise Hui Hanalike, the Hawaiian Paradise Park Corporation (Watumull), several court cases (not just 6595) the Hui Hanalike Road Committee, subsequent receivership, "formation" of HPPOA, and more. I am not sure if or how much it might help you, as I am not altogether sure what your committee plans on evaluating. But I do agree that the courts, and the state, have created patchwork fixes that have resulted in a confused and inadequate system of "governance" for HPPOA and other, large substandard housing districts. And in all honesty, I believe that "fixing" the current situation, while good intentioned, will only lead to more of the same "patchwork" mess. Because, and with all due respect, lumping the issues of Owners who live in planned communities, and mandatory developer HOA's, with those of Owners who solely have an obligation to contribute to the maintenance of their community's private roads creates bad law that results in complications and confusion, which then leads to misinterpretation and lawsuits.
Quite simply (but not so simple at all) the entire private system of "road maintenance organization" needs to be revisited and reworked, as its OWN issue.
If there is any way I can help you and your committee, please let me know.
Also, would it be possible for you to point me in the direction of whom I should contact, regarding HB1509?
Again, your time is much appreciated.
Mahalo nui loa,
Patricia
