There's a difference here and the liability of those owning land under the lava has been pointed out earlier in the thread
Is the liability different in Leilani than elsewhere? No. Are the tourists going to find out who owns what and call? No. Is there an attraction? Yes.
It wasn't there when folks came to live in Leilani, but it is now and it ain't going away. Either folks will adjust, accept, and be guided by the precepts of aloha, or not. They will build walls or paths, will create harmony, or resist. Either embrace the change or live with the stress they cause themselves by not embracing it. All I was doing is pointing out that the situation in Leilani is no different than other attractions. Other than the fact that the puu in Leilani kind of imposed itself on the neighborhood. But hey, change happens. If folks think they can wish it all away, or expect "the law" to do it for them, they are fooling themselves.
