I am worried about workers who moved here to start new jobs, as well as those impacted by Federal layoffs, either as longer term workers, or those who are dependent on Federal support. Those without income, or who have insufficient income, may not have the money to pay for their mortgages, food, medicine, etc. Will the banks provide forbearance to borrowers? How will the state government pressure those who have issues paying income tax, property tax, or permit fees? Where is the nearest food bank around Pahoa, and will those who can afford it, donate food or household supplies? Life would be simpler if there were a Costco in Hilo.
