Hawaiian Acres

I think if you bring a community attitude of live and let live, trade fruits and labors with friends and neighbors, or use and produce for the farmers markets you would fit in well. If you are looking for loads of entertainment, not self entertainment, you might be disappointed. I always suggest you come for at least a week or two to see how it feels. Not for everyone.

People are concerned about the lack of enough medical care in Puna. Someone asked not long ago what all the older baby boomers will do without adequate medical care. My response to that is I'm not looking to extending my life to infinity, hooked to machines, or molding in a elders facility like many of my older friends here on the mainland. Taking reasonable basic care I plan on the remainder of my life to go it's natural course without the fancy add on, if that makes sense.

I think multigenerational living would be accommodated well here, as many do it now, and just reading in SF Chron this weekend, builders and architects are re doing existing buildings to fill the need of a growing trend of multi generational households.

Good luck and hope a few of you will visit first.
