The money factor is why I have never put any credence in the promises by Little Greggie and a dozen other politicians to build anything. Somebody's cousin got a couple of million to do the current study that will be totally out of date and worthless in the unlikely event there ever is any funding.
I'm with HOTPE. Compulsory staggered opening times would help, at least in the short term. In the long term, continued growth will swamp that effort. Even if property insurance issues slow down building in Lava Zones 1 and 2, there will be people willing to take the risks of going uninsured, not to mention hardcore survivalist and modern pioneer types.
As the sign on the road to Hilo said this morning: "EXPECT DELAYS"
