Aloha Cindy! Really. I first came across the forum on "The Dark Side" last September (or was it August?) when we made the decision to just do it. I was mislead about Puna and the atmosphere of Pahoa. We all know about the history of Pahoa and no one is kidding themselves here. Having said that, I believe there is a real change going on in Pahoa. More middle class families and couples moving in the area that are either building or buying and are truly concerned about the nature of things in this area. Change is slow anywhere (and certainly Hawaii is no different there) but I think when you really care about the land and the people in your community it can bring about a rebirth of sorts.
Punaweb people (proudly "Punatics"
are some of the most welcoming and helpful people I personally have ever met. These people are ready to share their amazing knowledge of land and energy issues as well as their familiarity with the topography; local events; county and state government; and just the character of the area of East Hawaii.
You are certainly welcome here (and frankly, it's a more COMFORTABLE atmosphere than it ever will be over on KW).
I remember you have an issue with your son's sensory problem and coqui. You can access any of the archived threads by clicking on the search link above and typing whatever topic you are interested in. As I have learned by way of the gentle guidance of other Punatics, there's a plethora of info on about any topic you can imagine from catchment water to solar energy to the local market!!
Welcome home and Aloha!![](icon_smile_big.gif)
