Puna economy needs retirement homes
#1
They would bring wealth in from off-island, create jobs (including relatively unskilled ones), attract doctors (improving healthcare options for all of us), and increase tourism as families visit their loved ones here. Because they are high-density they can be more efficient and easier on the environment than people clearing 1-acre ag lots. They could replace our reduced tourists in Volcano and Pahoa, supporting local businesses. Local culture respects the elderly...

The properties could have resort-like features, carbon-neutral power, and green waste systems (central composting or toilet 2.0).

Seems like a perfect fit, and not as NIMBY as manufacturing, spaceports, power generation, etc... What do you think?
