I think you should move to Eugene, OR. It's like a really big Pahoa (legal pakalolo, Democrats are considered conservatives, vegan/non GMO restaurants, etc), but the (seriously) cheap electricity comes from hydro.
...we are everywhere...
...plus Kona prices for real estate with low wage jobs, and no sales tax is balanced out with sky high property and income taxes. My kid brother is paying $1500 a month for a tiny 2 bedroom house in between the homeless shelter and the railroad tracks where someone got stabbed to death last week virtually on his backdoor step. Why the heck would anyone leave Puna for Eugene? The migration seems to be mostly the other way.
