“As I pointed out, their focus is on success.. and the West side offers them that. What does Puna offer?”
One thing Puna offers is a landscape where an enterprising individual could move here from the mainland and simply go take pictures of it and sell them while making a goddamned good living off of it.
Yes, the west side has that success. Tourism followed by tourism along with tourism coupled with tourism that rests on tourism and insures more tourism that will bring even more tourism. That is a billions of dollars a year industry that bitches and complains that paying a state minimum wage will bankrupt them.
Seems to me the photographer industry is better!
But now think what tremendous economic boom a telescope could offer for the success of BOTH east and west Hawaii, as well as for the entirety of humankind!?
