Malolo,
I am with you 100% for no development. All we have to do is to get your 19,642 closest friends to elect you Governor of Puna and you can declare all of Puna a forest reserve. Meanwhile, the other 19,642 folks can speak for themselves.
Seriously, economic development doesn’t have to mean more traffic lights or McDonnell's on every corner. It mean communicating about the issues and coming up with economic plan and getting elected officials to execute on that plan. This is especially true if you don’t want any development.
The alternative is to invariably have developers in cahoots with politicians do whatever works to their best interest.
