"...As the district experiences growth and a ramping up of tourism our limited resources and general lifestyle are at risk. I think this is worthy of discussion. Any ideas on how to resolve these issues?..."
1. dont let the superferry get close to our island.
2. wait a few and let the lava do its thing.. methinks the whole of lower puna is in for some pretty big 'lifestyle' changes if it continues 4? 6? 8? months out. I mean they calmed our fears with the 'it aint tubed over/no pahoehoe' line and now thats gone.
3. stop telling all your mainland friends how nice it is to live puna side.
otherwise.. man the good ol american dream is descending upon us and it dont look as though we are going to be able to stop it.. rules.. concrete... fences.. you get yours and Ill get mine.. shopping centers... and the places we all enjoyed all these years will go poof*... sheesh how many starry nights did I spend on kua beach.. now its got a road to it.. parking lot.. pasty tourist.. oui! in fact where does one go camping on the island anymore?
