Hilo needs one? Puna is where all the newbies are going. But where, pray tell, would the location be? Smack dab in the middle of HPP seems like the most central location possible.
"Puna was sparsely populated back then.
In 1970, 5,154 residents called the district home. By 2000, there were six times as many people. The population had ballooned to 51,704 in 2020, according to census data.
Puna is expected to top 75,000 residents by 2030. By contrast, growth in Hilo, the county seat, has been stagnant. Its population was 44,186 in 2020, barely 900 people more than in 2010."
