Making everything illegal and then selectively enforcing the law is a great way to run things: you always have tools at your disposal to get rid of the "trouble makers".
If we're really trying to fix things, we should concentrate on creating the types of opportunity and infrastructure that will help Puna create its own wealth, instead of improving drive times to underpayed service jobs in Hilo. That means Internet, education, anchor institutions that draw money into the district, zoning changes to allow village type shops into ag neighborhoods, tax/regulation suspension/simplification and legal safe harbors for small businesses.
We have to rise up from within, or we will eventually be crushed or pushed out.
