Well, you can resist all you want, but the majority of the people that live in Puna want a few things... Job, and Retail.... people are tired of driving to Hilo or Kona for both.
Your overwhelming input from the community is tested by the "people" the voters put into office.
If 130 is closed to commercial development you doom Puna to be a 3rd world look alike or a place where only multi millionaires can live. And as there are so many poor already here... I am guessing 3rd world.

Unfortunately a community is made up of different people with different ideas, Puna will not stay rural, it can't, people are don't like that their kids have to move to the mainland to make a living, or go to Honolulu for medical care. If you want Puna to stay rural, you better start buying up all the land and get people to move out now because otherwise the tide is against you.
