From Kapoho Joe: "Whatever your flimsy excuse is to type...the Nazi salute, it was not appreciated. Don't bother responding to me, your kind is dead to me."
Sheesh, lighten up. It was hyperbole. And not even directed at you.

A roof over the main market area is indeed needed. The building will much help its erection. What about across the street? The two tent areas are 3x that of the main market. It's a much bigger task. Where is the money going to come from for meeting zoning/building requirements across the street? Small time market vending is not a rich business that can support expensive improvements.
Unless all 3 areas are brought back to full use, the vibrant HFM area as we know it will disappear.
Story: "Hawaii County officials (cited)...fire safety... violations."
Fire risk? The two sites are completely out in the open, with ample evacuation access. What an exaggerated safety concern. Could someone torch the tents at night? Sure. They could also set fire to the wooden dive shop next door.
