New store open in Hilo

[AaronM]

Ah yes, forcasting an economic downturn. 
…
the housing market to collapse is what allowed me to buy 3 foreclosed homes in 2009

The housing market collapse also allowed those 3 homes to be foreclosed, because the homeowners couldn’t forecast the downturn.

Not one word of empathy for the folks who have lost their homes, and are possibly homeless now.
You are definitely a republican. Not a drop of Aloha in either of your statements.

As someone who spent over 3 years homeless, sleeping on the concrete and eating crumbs, I have more than enough empathy for people who are currently homeless. 

As someone who lost his 'forever home' to the 2018 eruption, I have more than enough empathy for "folks who have lost their homes"

As far as your hypocritical attempt to use Aloha as a bludgeon while further dividing our nation along party battle lines, I can't do anything for you about that.

To use the parlance of our times - Do Better Dave.
