Rob,
How did Malama Market and the new gas station get built under the current zoning? I bet there was a lot of opposition to the Malama development and most of us couldn't live without it. I know we stop in more then once a week to pick up things. And, I see a lot of families that do their entire weeks shopping there. How convenient is Pahoa Hardware? Additionally, I see that they are expanding Malama to the other side of the parking lot adding a few more stores. I think that the Malama development was done in good taste and even though it’s modern it fits in quite well set back off the road. And, I think the new gas station sticks out like a sore thumb. I’m in agreement that we don’t need strip malls along 130, but change is coming to this area and if not embraced it will knock you over.
Remember most of us are a change (addition) to the community.
I see there was no objection to the new Pahoa Firehouse. Most of us say, “Well we need a new Fire Station” and I guess some of say we need more infrastructure to support the growing community?
It’s my guess that within 10 years Pahoa will look like Kea’au.

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it cost when it’s free...now here come the taxes.....
