quote:There it is, Sir, thank you. Puna will continue on this growth pattern, and although the market was soft for a bit, the cycle seems to be coming around again (as usual). We should capitalize on this kind of data through elected officials to get Puna at least some basic necessities. For example, a homeless shelter would be helpful for those who do not have the luxury of renting or owning a home. JMO.

An example about per capita:
The late 1990's civil rights finding of systematic discrimination against Puna was based on the amount of infrastructure per capita.
Has anything changed?
Parks: total number of acres of public park space divided by the number of people in the district. It is a lot less in Puna than it is in Hilo.
Public expenditure on roads: dollars divided by the total number of people.
Police officers, ambulances, and on and on...
(O/T: You have a lovely wife, Sir. My aloha to you both.[
