Developed Honolulu Community Gardens, City and County of Honolulu Dept of Parks and Recreation, organizing self-management of program by 1000± participants. My husband and I moved to high altitude tropical rainforest homestead near the entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in 1979. Camped out for the first year. Organized a self-managed 501(c)3 organization to partner with Hawaii County to operate town community center, as a volunteer. Starting 1990, worked as advocacy planner for low-income communities, as planning consultant to government. Filed successful federal civil rights complaints against local and state governments for falsifying data to direct federal funds away from low-income to high-income communities. Operated B&B at our home, starting 1986, went full-time with 5 units 2000. Began observing enhanced business internet access invert to increasingly expensive and toll-gated time/money gaming of algorithms in about 2004. Been looking for a community non-profit path to reversing that ever since.
