Hey everyone,
Sorry about my comments about "hippie's", no disrespect intended. Just for the record, I'm from the islands, born and raised, 0 to 23 years of age, of Haole/ Portuguese decent, graduated from Kailua High School on Oahu in 1969, left to go to college on the mainland in 73. But, I do know a little bit about hippie's, in fact I was a hippie. I might add, I lived on the windward side when it wasn't a popular place to live, before the tunnels were built in a 3 bedroom house in Pohakapu with 6 brothers and 1 sister. Bottom line, I should have know better than to make a comment like that, Hawaii has always been a melting pot of diversity and peaceful free loving people (hippie's) can live next to me "anytime". I was refering more about the "crime" element in Puna, and all you have to do is get on any web site and see that part of it is true..., they don't call it "The Wild West" for nothing. That being said, eye's wide open people, I still think the area is worth investing in for the price, weather and ultimetly a piece of paradise. Because..., I definetly couldn't afford to live in Kailua again, that's fo'certain'n'fo'sure!!! Sorry about the misunderstanding, peace and love (two finger up and inverted) to all.
Aloha,
Sandy
