And then you have the type of people who set goals and plan things for the future. They traveled here several times while living on the mainland to make sure that Puna was where they wanted to live. They tried all times of the year to make sure they could handle the rain or the heat or even the vog. They talked with people who lived here and asked lots of questions and basically just did their homework. And when they finally retired from their mainland jobs...they sold their home and bought or built one here. They have no mortgage...they have retirement income to live on....they love working in the garden and watching things grow all year long. And they just basically love it here and would never live anyplace else.
