The indolence engendered by living in Hawai'i, which is desirable on so many levels, gets in the way of anything resembling good governance. I've seen this before, in New Orleans.
Clearly, HPP has made an horrific mistake here. The few roads it is getting for the money are plainly not worth it. Few who chose to live in HPP actually mind that the roads are substandard. In an odd way, it adds to the charm and keeps speeds down. If I had a choice, I would choose to live on an unpaved road. Give people a paved road and they will speed on it.
What I want is improvements on Murder Alley, Hwy 130. I can't help but wonder if the money HPP ponied up for these roads might not have been spent building a light rail system to Hilo!
Unfortunately, it appears the die is cast and there is no possibility of reversing the decision. I would have voted against it if I had been asked.
Roads to nowhere.
