After watching the construction of the new Long's, Burger King and KFC, it seems obvious that the lack of form-based codes for development in Pahoa has not helped anything. The new buildings do not contribute one bit to the "look and feel" of the area and are simply examples of typical, corporate buildings.
Is yet another Pahoa Marketplace styled place what the area wants? Talk about being bland and without feeling or soul? Would it have been so difficult to get these companies to adhere to the "look and feel" of Pahoa when they built?
