SPACE, Bellyacres problems

Did it ever occur to you that people moved to Seaview, Puna Palisades and Kehena because they like the remoteness and like to have the nearest infrastructure 20 minutes away in Pahoa?

The original settlers should have written that into a CC&R so that future arrivals wouldn't get the wrong idea about "how things are supposed to be".

If the community really wants to drive 20 minutes for everything, SPACE should never have been allowed in the first place.

Of course, County shares some blame for allowing the problem to fester.

Maybe SPACE should move up to Hawaiian Acres. It'll be at least 20 years before they get gentrified out of that subdivision...

I hope everyone takes note who are the instigators, perpetuating negativity here and promoting other community destroying efforts. Puna is not served by all this energy given to fighting one another.
Here is my letter sent to the Hawaii Tribune Herald.

Your August 1st article regarding a complaint made for political reasons against Tiffany Edwards, a candidate for county council, is a blatant misuse of our official complaint system process. It is also an example of one of the most destructive practices preventing the healthy development of our neighborhood communities.

Having been personally subjected to a similar character assassination attack from the same sources, RJ Hampton and Sativa Sultan, l can attest to the natural desire to respond by filing similar complaints against the aggressors. Pursuing a positive path is paramount to me so l do not file complaints but when it comes to ethics and compliance with county and state ordinances it should be known that these and other perpetual complainers are not living on moral high ground themselves.

Official complaints are too often motivated for selfish reasons and used inappropriately for vindictive personal grudges. l applaud Tiffany Edwards for not filing complaints against RJ and Sativa for non compliant structures on their land, for claiming a homeowners exemption for a house where they haven’t lived for years, for using a voter registration address that is invalid and for operating a food business without the proper health department permits.

People living in glass houses should not throw rocks and should stop using the complaint system for personal vendettas. These are not the actions of righteous people. These are the actions that divide and destroy and take our energies away from building and strengthening the relationships that are essential for the growth of healthy communities.

Your choice ,,,,, We all ears ...

What are your " energies " that are being divided, destroyed and being taken away ?

I loved how Graham tried to make fun of his Ohia tree cutting on conservation land in the Tiffany Roast...

BTW, Graham, the complaint process exists because of people like you and Tiffany, who refuse to follow the rules.

Yeah, that was pretty lame. Complaining about the complainers but not addressing the complaints in the least.

Complaining about the complainers but not addressing the complaints

I thought that was standard operating procedure for Puna.

That said ... Graham has it right: as long as we're all squabbling amongst ourselves about petty issues, the larger problems will continue to go unsolved -- and this is exactly what the "real political powers" want.
