"The county has never provided anything ... no other zoning opportunities
Not technically accurate -- County has provided plenty of "guidance" in the form of a Development Plan that requires everyone to drive long distances for their basic necessities. This is hardly "sustainable" but somehow County doesn't consider that to be their problem... now get in your car and drive to Hilo."
Thank you for stating this more clearly than I did and for adding the part about the so-called Development Plan. There is something called an "Action Committee" that is supposedly spearheading the implementation of the Puna CDP. If ever anything was misnamed, it was that committee. Of course the more cynical among us, including myself, suspect it is doing exactly what the powers that be want . . . which is nothing.
I'd like to say more, but I have to get in my car and drive to Hilo now.
