No Traffic Ordinances in HPP

[Cindy Blankenship]

Thanks! And thanks Bob for putting an end to that myth. I can't count how many kids think it is legal to drive here under age because it's private.

Well I feel kinda lame complaining now after reading all your posts. Come to think of it we had the same issues on the mainland. As I told this family member, you find oud noise and annoyances wherever you live - unless your miles out in the boonies or in a super controlled cookie cutter community. All one can do is buffer. Houses like these here without insulation make it harder to do so. I just feel bad for family member because he can't handle ear plugs, and loud noise is torment to him.

In Ashland, Ore. it was the leaf blowers - sometimes everyday of the week as the gardeners moved through the neighborhoods. I'll take coquis nightly and a loud motor bike on weekends lol.

In Ashland the cops let the tourists slide - running red lights, etc. but busted the local kids skidding around on Friday nights. How fair is that?

In the rural area where we lived though there was quite a speeding problem but with only one deputy covering the area, this wasn't exactly a priority. In fact there was so little coverage the county sheriff led a town hall meeting to tell residents how they could and couldn't defend themselves and stay within the law. No they couldn't shoot outside and then drag the body indoors - that was a popular question lol One little granny in a powder blue suit jumped up and announced what she'd do with her shotgun. Lol Southern Oregon.

Then we were so worried about the kids in a Rogue River neighborhood (small town, good police coverage) that an older kid treated like a drag strip that we wrote a letter to the editor. Not even an artery street - up near the dead end. Neighbors said even a deaf child living in the neighborhood and a warning sign didn't slow this one down. I asked the police chief once regarding local drivers downtown why they didn't hand out more tickets (he was complaining about their budget). He said everyone would be mad at them.

So you know Hawaii's not that much different is it? Better in some ways. If we were staying I'd pay to have these dang walls insulated though.
