I don't know where you came up with that correlation.
Based on your statements:
"growth in a manner preferred by the residents of Puna. Village centers, not commercial sprawl."
"location, location, location. I can walk to about a dozen local restaurants and shops. That was a choice I made."
I guess it's easier to prefer development in a village center when your village already has a center!

Alternately, a "peddlers mall" or "flea market" would probably fit pretty well in/near our subdivisions. They are typically large warehouse or quonset-hut style buildings with lockable "stalls" for each vendor to securely set up shop. Then each new business does not have to deal with the county permitting regime, aside from food safety.
