I have been lurking on Punaweb for a couple of years now, without comment, but now I must reply! Thunderfoot, I must take issue with your comments about the people who hang around the community center. Yes, many of them drink and smoke a little weed, but these folks, for the most part, are good people and are not Ice heads or theives. I have gotten to know many of them, have hired some to work for me, had them in my home and have found them to be trustworthy workers and friends.I consider many to be part of our Ohana. Don't make accusations here. Making such a generalization about a group of people is unethical and unwarranted.
As far as living in Fern Forest, It can tend to be wet and cool. The Vog usually comes with a Kona low and is a problem sometimes, but I would guess less than 5 % of the time. Random theft occurs periodically, but not any more than other areas of Puna. People in Fern Forest are a little stand offish until they get to know you. The biggest issue might be the moist climate or if you take issue with random recreational pakalolo smoking.
