Building a new town in South Puna

[Guest]

geochem is talking good sense. Creating a new town in a lava hazard zone, after losing Kopoho, and now Pahoa, in a single generation, is a non-starter. That said, there are already sustainable alternate lifestyle communities in lower Puna and every effort should be made to grease the skids for them to continue what they are doing. These people are creative, intelligent, their intentions are pure and their view is long term. If anyone can figure out a way to make this work long term in a sustainable way, they will. It may not fit our preconceived notions of what daily life is, but they will come up with something that will work and be peaceful and supporting to the community. I do not see them folding up and going away. I say look to the sustainable living folks for guidance. They've been at it for awhile here.
