Daniel, What you say is true and rather accurate except for one thing... There are now about 40,000 empty lots in Puna which each have a the right to build without requirement for water, paved roads, electricity, waste water treatment. They will not fill up immediately but we expect that they will fill up and Puna might have a population of possibly 200,000 some day.
From this possible projection of the future sprang the Puna Community Development Plan (PCDP). The PCDP ia basically a question of: Would you rather have six people deciding the future of the district or several hundred?
I am not aware though of entry level lots currently costing $100,000 unless it is ocean front.
Mitigation fees are probably coming no matter what. But until those empty lots are filled the requirements you describe will slow down or prevent the creation of new large subdivisions (which we do not, frankly, have need of).

Assume the best and ask questions.
