In the vast majority of cases in Puna, those living in tents do not own the property at all. Some may simply have permission to be on it and even more are probably just squatters.
The big crime is how poor of a job that the County has done in allowing dangerous structures to continue to exist along with the obvious lack of sanitation that these "tent-dwellers" are obviously contributing to.
Do you want people living without septic, etc. living next door to you? Where is their waste going? What if you have a well? Would that change your mind about reasonable building codes and restrictions based upon public safety?
