lava evacuees who would be more than happy to pay that price for a replacement lot.
Paki Bay, is about half way from the Beach Road parking lot in HPP to Shipman Beach. It was at one time the largest population center on Big Island. A swap of inundated lots on Kapoho Bay for a $2000 Paki Bay property would probably be acceptable for many residents who lost homes. Think of it, Paki Bay ocean front, with areas that afford protected ocean access for canoes and outriggers, inland 5 acre ag lots, all connected by a walking path to Shipman Beach for swimming.
The County could assess the lots for hundreds of thousands of dollars, many at millions - - instead of $2000 an acre.
What's not to like for everyone whose last name isn't Shipman?
I alternate between thinking of the planet as home — dear and familiar stone hearth and garden — and as a hard land of exile in which we are all sojourners. Today I favor the latter view. The word “sojourner”... invokes a nomadic people’s sense of vagrancy, a praying people’s knowledge of estrangement, a thinking people’s intuition of sharp loss: “For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.” - Annie Dillard
