And whether or not it was a good idea or a spectacularly bad one, the Puna subdivisions were conceived as rural bedroom communities for Hilo, not as the beginning of a new hub.
Fine. Where's the cloverleaf interchange in Keaau, with six lanes to Hilo and four lanes to Pahoa and Volcano?
What's that? Puna doesn't pay enough taxes to afford the privilege of driving to Hilo for everything? OK, fine, allow Puna some commercial development...
Wait, Puna shouldn't be developed because it's in a lava plain? OK, fine, cease all development and stop issuing building permits...
