Im glad that Puna is still considered rural because I pay very little tax. Where else can you have a $400,000 home and pay under $1000.00 a year when you factor in the exemptions? That plus the fact that they don't tax government retirement income makes this place extremely desireable for retirees on limited income. By the time Puna actually increases its infrastructure to the point that water and sewer lines are the norm....I'll be long dead and gone.
