Email Campaign To Endorse New Noise Legislation - Rep Kobayashi (Diamond Head, Kahala, Kaimuki, Kapahulu) Reply

1/27/2021

0 Comments

 
Reply below was received from Rep Kobayashi representing Diamond Head, Kahala, Kaimuku, Kapahulu.  Broadly dismissive of our email.  Language of his response seems to indicate that he doesn't understand that HR6 is a proposal for a "Study" and not a "one-size-fits-all solution."  A study, Rep Kobayashi, is how you begin to develop a priority or two, focus, so to not shotgun widely.

Appears we won't be having support for HR6 from this Diamond Head, Kahala, Kaimuki, Kapahulu Representative.

​Hi, to whomever,
1.  Your organization is unknown to me.  Sorry, don't know your blog.
2. .Do you remember CAN/Citizens Against Noise from the 1970s -1980s?..and former St. Rep. Joan Hayes?
3.  HR 6 seems too broad [[health AND quality of life impacts, and multiple noise sources, which CANNOT be addressed with a one-size-fits-all solution/law].  Pick a priority or two, focus, don't shot-gun widely.
4.  much unfinished noise issues/proposals over the decades –highway noise, especially for homes near highways; leafblowers are now in statute but not noisy vaccum clean-up equipment; aircraft noise; multiple service vehicles, some mentioned in HR6; etc.  etc.
