Landscape that Fugly Longs

[DaVinci]

I'm with Rob this time. What he is advocating is not the particular design itself but the idea of designing future development. Or putting some meager controls or rules or requirements on it. The Shipmans et. al. are against such requirements because they add cost to new development. But they have nice mansions hidden in the jungle and don't care what Pahoa or Keaau look like as long as the dollars keep rolling in. I know Blas will favor development, and I would suggest that opposing development in Puna now is at best a quixotic endeavor, but taking hold of the issue and controlling it to some degree, as much as is possible at this juncture, for the good of the community, would be a better use of our collective energy than bitching about the fugly buildings after the fact.
