just like to point out that the assumption there are Kona folks and Hilo folks and they all have the option to stay on one side or the other is not true.
In my case, my younger son and his wife and my grandson live Kona side and I live on the east side ... and it's hard to get over to see them.
My doctors are in Waimea; it's hard to get there from here, yet it's hard to find a new doctor.
The people I know who grow up on the island have friends and family all over the place. People need to get around, and it's getting harder with all this commute traffic and trucking ...
I'd be happy to see better transit connect points around the island ... especially to carry the commute load. I doubt it would go where I want to go, but if it took cars off the road that would be great.
