WOW. ok... I only drove thru there from Valcano thru Hilo and back to Kona where I was staying. The area was amazingly beautiful (and moist!). I have been doing research for about 2 years on all areas of the Big Island, I like it much better than Maui (too fancy).
All the things you have told me, I have read one place or another. Plus I really appreciate reading replies right from people who live there! I have learned a lot, and I do realize why the houses are inexpensive.
I live in Buffalo, NY. I am really sick of sub-zero blowing snow and NO SUN. And I'm sure I sound like every other disgruntled, Northeast mainlander, but my sole purpose of living on that Island is to work protecting the environment and it's sea creatures! There are no whales or sea turtles in Lake Erie
I run my own business and am looking to SEMI-retire, so I don't plan on coming there and "getting a job". I honestly don't know what I am going to do!
