Mahalo, these are points well taken. I guess MY point is that population density carries weight also. The ten thousand people in HPP shouldn't have to expect fewer services than the two hundred or so millionaires in Kona Bay Estates. On a broader scale, East Hawaii's greater population offsets Kohala's higher tax base.
Misuse of services can be reduced with education, but it's only natural that more population equals more calls for police, ambulance, fire, etc.
