Graham Ellis and the Hiccup Circus have done much to implement services in Puna Makai that the County cannot, or will not fund.
Nor does County appreciate being shown up by the Community, at which point the "competition" receives notices of violation, cease-and-desist orders, etc.
I, for one, am tired of seeing my tax dollars spent to "have it both ways", and the PCDP "designated commercial centers" are a fraud unless people are allowed to actually have these near the communities they are intended to serve. (Alternately, build a real highway system and provide sufficient public transit so that everyone can participate in the commercial centers as designated.)
The development/infrastructure problems in Puna are decades old, so it's pretty obvious that the purpose of government is not to actually solve problems, despite their claims to the contrary. How much more public money will County spend telling people to stop solving problems? Enough for another tax increase!
