To whine or not to whine, is more a personal choice than to be part of a dynamic community.
Ten vehicles on a dirt road is one thing, 110 vehicles on the same dirt road has a quantifiable, visible impact.
The county approved these substandard subdivisions with NO forsight into the future.
Who even contemplated westward migration into Puna?
Well, here it is...
If someone has a viable mechanisim to "un-subdivide" then bring it to the council.
So... how do we live together in COMMUNITY with thoughtful awareness of each other?
Some people equate rural as an unrestricted opportunity to pile trash wherever...
To dig a cesspool, wherever...
To let their kids play in the road and their dogs run free...
Maybe when all these subdivided lots didn't have a dwelling on them, maybe then it worked out ok.
Now, it doesn't...
The financial ability to own one, two, three plus cars and build a dwelling to house them, doesn't automatically grant that person a "right" to drive at breakneck speed, "whine" about the roads, and demand new ones through existing subdivisions.
Again, I'm back to conscious thinking about each other no matter how long any of us have lived here.
