There is definitely an attitude among locals that Punatics are dangerous, outsider, dirty hippie, cultist, icehead, haole, etc. Puna is only begrudgingly supported because some locals' kids have had to move there to buy a house. Most in Hilo are afraid to go to Kalapana now, or anywhere outside of HPP for that matter.
The 2018 eruption created a lot of recovery jobs in Hilo that are still paying salaries. I just don't know what they do all day, not giving out recovery funds.
Remember when our lava survivors were living in a tent camp? And Maui's fire survivors are in 5 star hotels and airbnbs? That sums up how much people care about Puna.
