How can you make someone understand that the beauty of the Puna district is that it is a rural area. Just the idea of it being an aquicultural and rural area is the reason so many of us have settled here. I personal don’t ever want to see a traffic light when there are alternatives like roundabouts available. The thought of having strip malls along highway # 130 has me thinking about packing it up and moving to some place else.
I left Kona for this very same reason after living there for 35 years. Remembering Kona as to what it used to be compared to what it is now is heartbreaking. Now here comes someone that can’t see the beauty of the place that he/she is living in and wants to change it to her/his needs and wants. “Phooey”, move to Kona they already have what you want and leave this rural area to those of us that can handle it.
