Residents of Punaluu, Hawaii, are fighting against the proposed development of Punaluu Village by Black Sand Beach LLC, which would create residential units and commercial establishments near a cherished black sand beach. Local opposition has grown due to concerns over private road signs and rising water rates, coupled with the fear of losing public beach access. Rallying together, community members advocate for preserving their land and maintaining its untouched character against further commercialization, reflecting a deep connection to their environment and cultural identity.
The people of Kau do not want any kind of development down in Punaluu. We would love to keep the place country, free from development.
The rally is about trying to show that the developer and any kind of investor are going to be in for a battle.
You buy the land, you get the people. The people and the land are one, and the people don't want any more resorts.
Ever since I can remember, that county park was a county park, so it's really the people's park.
