Speaking only as a resident-to-be, my wife and I are attracted to the things that Pam spoke of. Simple quiet beauty, pleasant weather, snorkeling at Kapoho and other places, plants growing wild which we pay money for as houseplants, there really are a lot of good qualities about this area. Particularly in contrast to where we live now. Bakersfield, CA is essentially a desert with really bad air quality and lots of Republicans. (I keed, I keed.)

No, wait, we've all forgotten. Puna sucks. It's a terrible place to live, a place that nobody should move to. There's tens of thousands of people who shouldn't move to Puna.[}][8D]
