How built out is HPP? I've read it's only around 50%.
Isn't HPP 8500 lots? Half of that, assuming 2 persons/household, is 8500 people.
My town is smaller than that... and we have our own grocery store, gas station, ACE hardware, and multiple highways to the next town.
Important to note: we have these things because they already existed. Nothing will be built at the prices inflicted by today's economy.
Puna really needs to accept the simple fact that planning cannot be retrofitted. Everything is what you already have, where-is, as-is.
If you want something different/better in your lifetime, move to a place that has those things.
