Aloha Everyone,
Puna economy is extremely vulnerable to real estate boom/bust cycles, what other alternative source of economic potentials are available to Puna? Basically, ways to transfer $$$ from outside Puna into Puna.
Do Punatics even want any sort of development? Development probably needs to be controlled to preserve that natural beauty of the region and the slow life style.
One possible solution is to tap into the Billions of $$$ of outsourcing that is benefiting many Asian and European economies, from call centers to software development. Having an English speaking population, a good University System, high speed internet infrastructure and being part of the US is a major benefit towards that end.
Like to hear forum members thoughts on this issue.
