Maybe I can use some education because I find myself having a very hard time understanding one key point many have been throwing out. So can some explain the following,
What is meant by community?
I hear many saying the "community" supports, the "community" needs, fills a "community" need. Yet, I also hear from neighbors that although they support the idea, they oppose how its being done because they see SPACE as plain old bad neighbors. So, is the community the Seaview community? The lower Puna community, Puna as a whole community, the east side community, the Island of Hawaii community, the arts and alternative scene regardless of where in the world they reside? The entire universe who believes in what they are doing? I get the impression that "community" simply means "supporters“ (regardless if they are in the community) but not the community that many are trying to pretend it is.
