Contradictions of Historic Preservation and Sustai

[pahoated]

My understanding is Kea'au village was just like Pahoa village, except infested with more termites and the decision was to just bulldoze it down. Keeping Pahoa the way it is doesn't really have any great tie to the sugar cane plantations and plantation villages other than the buildings, nothing really acknowledges the sugar cane plantation era. It is going to be like a lot of places with an old village and a new village. Seems to work for a lot of towns on the mainland, the old part staying artsy with specialty services and food places, and a new part with new develoment. Doesn't seem like much change beyond the Brison's center and the roundabout. Nobody trying to change old village much except for different new people taking a shot at a small business and other parts being suddenly vacated. It seems extra congestion can be expected for quite awhile.
