Sorry about all the blank replies... I find this app confusing on my phone (small print).
Anyway, I agree with both of you. The Puna subdivisions are a decades old problem. Unfortunately, they are not a problem that is getting less of an issue with age (lacking infrastructure, enormous population growth). I am not sure what a good answer is. It is certain the County cannot take responsibility for everything at once- that would surely bankrupt them. Perhaps, if they changed their priorities and stopped looking into more parks and the other "sexy projects," instead, diverting that money to what Hawaii Island and their residents need, those actions and money might add up and make a huge difference.
