Jay, to those of us who have worked on these subjects it comes down to this:
There are presently an existing number of legal empty lots. People who own them, like you, will move here to try to achieve a better life for themselves then they could from whence they came.
These empty lots are mostly, but not all, on one of the largest cul-de-sacs in the nation. This is in a seismically and volcanically active and hurricane active area. Whether these people walk, ride horses, drive goat carts, air cars, electric cars or gas hogs their need to move to and from the area will continue. Their need to move to and from the area in an emergency is currently doubtful.
Therefore
It has been determined by amateurs and professionals that an alternative route into and out of Puna has been needed for a number of years and will likely, by all rational projections, be more needed in coming years. Like you, people will move here. Simply because they can.
A higher price of gas might well move them here sooner. Might not. But we can rather easily multiply the number of legal house lots by the average occupancy and derive reasonable projections.
On this basis, here and virtually everywhere else since before Roman times, roads have been constructed to meets our common needs. Automobiles and the price of gas are rather recent developments. Mankind has had roads long before mankind had automobiles.

Assume the best and ask questions.
