Building a new town in South Puna

[csgray]

The county's solution to lower Puna's needs has always been "drive to Hilo" and demanding a high level of infrastructure has been part of that. It is now very clear that the solution to meeting needs in lower Puna is to allow small nimble, low infrastructure businesses to meet the needs of the people. Structures that can be moved easily or just written off is the lava moves in, instead of large scale mainland style strip malls. People are going to want and need things from the Hilo side, and entrepreneurs will meet that need, if allowed to do so in a low infrastructure way. lava zone one maybe just needs to have different minimum requirements, as long as basic health and safety considerations are met.
