A newish home on Rd 8 has been built in a known river area.
8 rd lifted off and the county has over patched this gaping puka .
The home though escaped damage but the front yard and driveway - fence all gone.
It is next to Geoff's home from Garden Exchange on the makai C rd side of Rd 8.
10 and C apparently totally gone - pavement and concrete - have not driven down to see.Any H.A. residents here to confirm the damage at 9 n C and 10 n C ?

Laws can be passed all day, it's the enforcement aspect that matters.

10 and C isn't gone. It's still there right where 10 and C used to be.
The pavement got undermined and crumbly like big chunks of broken ice. It's much worse than it used to be but I've passed it several times to visit friends and I don't have a 4x4.
9 and C is fine. Easy to see the magnitude of the flood there as the waters pushed all the grass down and left a flood line of debris in the guava trees.

Thank You E.W.
Normal H.A. flood zone haps.
Concrete is the way to go instead of AC hot mix.

Sometime I wonder where some the people on puna web are coming from?
Amen JRW.
I been saying that for years. Most of them not the crowd that you might associate yourself with.
That one of the reasons why I continue to post here. To buck the PW system and show that we are not all people who are all bent out of shape because of someone building and unpermitted house.
I catch a lot of flack here because of it but I care not.

People who willfully ignore the law are all fine and well until they start building on the lot next to you.

That is a good reason to buy the lots on either side of you and set your house as far back from the road as you are comfortable with.

My neighbors can do whatever they want on their lots, as long as they don't pollute my lot with noise/trash/biowaste... Government should not be "protecting us from ourselves", that's not their role.

I see a few problems with that solution. Much easier if people don't consider themselves above the law.

I have neighbors who are willingfully ignoring the law and have built unpermitted structures next to me and we still get along fine and have respect and love for one another. Same as my other neighbors. Love and respect. Permitted home or not. As randomQ said, respectful with regards to noise trash bio-waste etc.
So: false and false pw
1) we have people who don't adhere to that part of the law or "above the law" if you want to sound extreme about it.
and
2) we have neighbors right next to us who ignored that building code law and all is still fine and well.
