Why would one live in an area...

Honestly having read this forum before ever moving here I knew the government was largely inept. It's just I wasn't expecting it to be so in my face all of the time. Once a certain something is over then it will be a lot easier for me to ignore it all again.

Right now I'm embarrassed to invite anyone here from the mainland.

I moved here knowing there is a small possibility that in my lifetime my house may become inundated by lava. I just think that risk is sufficiently small, and the volcano being so close adds this strange aura of excitement. It makes me feel a little bit more alive than I would otherwise.

I've even got over having someone attempt to steal my car right out of my driveway. I took it as a lesson learned, and no harm if he failed to take anything. My security is much tighter now as a result.

As far as development, I don't really care that much either way. I enjoy the convenience, higher property values, and possibly lower crime that comes along with gentrification or whatever you would call it if it happened in Puna. On the other hand, I am fine how it is now, but certainly won't mind new stores and such opening. I could live in the middle of nowhere as long as I had good internet, but I also wouldn't mind living in Tokyo. There's advantages to both.

I certainly have no intention of leaving what I have here. And yeah, I complain too much. It just sucks that the pandemic has made me lose my rose colored glasses about this place. I just hope I can get them back later.
