Good topic and discussion. Mahalo. As the lava dictates the next chapter of Puna and our environment, this discussion may become more important.
It is time to rethink our options, get involved in renewing our community for the greater good, which includes our visitors. Once a plan, especially lower Puna for our ohana, is embraced by the majority (can't please everyone), we should all strive to make it happen.
This is also a good discussion for our elected officials to be involved in due to the zoning and land use issues, etc. There are some fantastic "portable/temporary" structures today for many uses.
Puna is still front and center. We should take advantage of the options we may have today. Good growth, including agriculture, and accomodations for our visitors (including restaurants, culture events, etc.) may be the answer to our stagnant economic status.
JMO.
P.S. Please give us a "Superferry" type option! That would come along with a new docking area at Pohoiki (obviously), and even greater possibilities. Well, the Ali'i landed at Honolulu Landing, so perhaps that's a better area. OK, pau dream. [
