In my observation, the migration isn't limited to Hawaii or Puna. People are moving around everywhere due to economic stress. e.g. the grass is greener. A lot more people seem to be moving lately from here, even long timers, for work, grandkids on mainland, cheaper living. There's a lot of empty houses, foreclosures, even abandoned places. I'm trying to ride out this "depression" w/o selling any property; I think many here are in the same predicament.
