Rob,
I applaud PCDP for all of their hard work. However, I wonder if a professional planner for a major retail outlet might shed some perspective on population service
I am talking basic retail needs of build-out population. You just cannot serve that many people with big retail (esp. grocery) at only Kea'au and Pahoa. I am not saying that 130 should be turned into one big strip mall, not a chance, but one large shopping center mid way would serve the population better than several Malamas or foodlands.
Do you have data on what build-out population is for Puna makai?
