As was pointed out in another active thread: you get what you pay for. And sometimes you get who (the majority of) you voted for. If some of those Puna subdivisions had proper septic systems installed (and lots priced accordingly) and others didn't, what do you think the respective occupancies would look like for those two types of subdivisions?
How many of your neighbors are going to vote for a politician or a community association member who tells you that you are going to have to fork over >$10K per household to get yourself hooked up to a community septic system? A truthful politician will always lose to one who tells the comforting lies...
Unless you and your neighbors develop a taste for your neighbors cesspool effluent, and an aversion to politicians bullsh*t, then the rest of the bill will always come due for the cheap political promises and for your purchase of a "cheap" lot in Puna with no infrastructure.
And as an aside, your proposed solution isn't credible: how many of your neighbors are going to spring for a composting toilet in their beautiful $x00,000 home? and what would that do to its resale value???
