I think Pahoated comes closer to the truth than many want to realize.
ericp: " Why build a 4 lane highway?" - Why stop it at Shower, serving the HPP population that drives to Hilo and pays more in state taxes than the rest of lower Puna, with no firm commitment for the next leg other than paper plans?
" I can't imagine KTA coming along .... if the population won't support it " - from what I hear their commitment to building in Pahoa is contingent on certain factors, and is not a done deal at all.
kalakoa: "HMSA putting up a new 'administravitive' building in Keaau , which will have 150-200 staff, despite the inadequate highway capacity." - How many of the people working there will be driving from Hilo, going against the current traffic logjams ?
The price of vacant lots stabilized early this year, and has started dropping in many areas. The inventory of low priced houses has been reduced, but the median priced housing is not moving as quickly as some real estate agents wish.
