Assuming you don't live in the area or have any handle on it's history or demographics, or of the parties involved, I'd suggest your comments are a tad naive. But hey, if you want to have input on how the Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Commission works and how they come to designate different areas as candidates for funding I am sure they are approachable. The commission is made up of members from each district and as such Puna has a representative that is in fact a highly regarded member of the community.
There is a fact sheet here:

and the commission's website is here:

I am proud of our county's wisdom in having an open space fund and the good it is doing. They have been instrumental in keeping other properties from being developed privately that I feel warranted preservation and for that I am grateful. Hopeful with further education you'll come to appreciate the Public Access, Open Space, and Natural Resources Preservation Commission as well.
