The west coast has treated Hawaii about the same as China has treated Tibet, and with the same results. Tax em off their landholdings, and control their lifestyle with regulation. Lingle tried to allow Hawn Homes to build without all the infrastructure required (250K per lot), but was defeated by those who make out on infrastucture installs. What they call keep Puna rural is BS. The Tent Ammendment (allowing same) would have been good, because it would allow grass shacks, but no, it would hurt the property value.
