I Love Leilani Estates - if I am ever fortunate enough to be able to own a second (unmortgaged) home, it will likely be there. Why? see above re: Pele's playground.
In Hilo, or the HPP / Orchidland corridor, I feel like keeping a bottle of brandy handy to attempt an appeasement is appropriate - in Leilani I feel that you should just be ready to bow gracefully and walk away when Pele decides to continue expanding the island there.
