Building a new town in South Puna

[OnoOno]

I knew why you were so adamant to know where the guy in the warehouse next door was, so you could employ your childish geographic censorship "Purity test.

FYI, I don't live anywhere near the San Andreas fault, but the area I live in makes a great contribution to the USA. Aviation, entertainment, world commerce, technology etc.,

Also, I am not referring to the immediate situation, but a change in mindset post cataclysm, that further adventures into living on the side of a hyper-active volcano might not be such a good idea after all. My taxes, no doubt will be used, in some measure, in the efforts, so I have a voice in the issue, failure of meeting your geographic purity test notwithstanding.

You can rest assured that if there is a problem here, we will take care of it. We have virtually unlimited resources. When the I-10 collapsed, it was rebuilt in record time - NOT Hawaii time.

In closing, I offer my apologies for not noting earlier your armband.

I have a better idea.

Why don't people just give up on, or at least moderate, the idea of living on the flanks of one of the world's most-active volcanoes - especially when it is involved in a 30-year long "spew", and when there is evidence that an even bigger one is starting to clear her pipes for another performance after a long period of quietude.

"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."

Snorkle says, enthusiastically;
Nailed it!

You've already said you don't live here and have no interest in living here, in fact the only thing that interests you is the volcanic eruption, so why do you think the good people who are trying to deal with the current situation, many of whom were actually born here, or moved here before Pu'u O'o erupted, want unsolicited advice from a person who has no personal stake in the situation?

You said you were in So. Cal. so when the San Andreas fault inevitably breaks loose I am sure you and your community will want help picking up the pieces. Why don't all of you living on that fault, which comes complete with intense drought, wildfires, flooding if you get a little rain, and mudslides from overbuilding, just move to off the fault, instead of expecting everyone else to pay to rebuild your infrastructure? See how that works?
