I admit I haven't looked at the specific proposals closely enough, but I do still see a problem with the state expecting you to farm a 1 acre parcel of lava while simultaneously preserving it. Of course many of these subdivisions would not have been developed in the first place if the planners had really given a damn about anything except taking the money and running. We are also one of the few places in the US where you can legally use a cesspool. As I understand it, cesspools are just not an environmentally sound way to dispose of sewage but there doesn't seem to be the will to require anything else.
