Permits denied becuase of lava threat

It only takes looking at an aerial realty map of homes for sale to see the source of all these problems are due to too much development of Puna. There were essentially several large plantation areas that got converted to all these failed developments, now in the hands of buyers that didn't have a clue what they were buying. Then, these buyers set about making plan after plan trying to plan something that never started out planned. The net result is density congestion randomness. The planning never does a realistic assessment in the first place, then keeps trying to shoehorn in a plan from the rear end. It's so interesting to see what the effect of sugar has been on the real estate of this moku' aina. That and the western colonialism idea of giant plantations.
