Hey Damon, howzit...
I am somewhat twisted on this one. I mean, with the good comes the bad...
The good: more jobs for locals to feed the tourist "boom"...
The bad: (besides traffic, etc) vendors at Makuu raise their prices 10 fold b/c tourist now flock their on Sunday...
I think though, we need better, more accessible, sand friendly beaches on this side. That is a big turn-off for tourists...
AND a NICER hotel. Hilo Hawaiian is stuck in the 50s. A KEY to open your room door?? Who still does that?? [xx(] The AC sounds like a small prop plane. Rooms are moldy and stinky...
I mean, you go to Kona and they have some nice areas for locals and tourists to play. The Shops, Waikoloa, etc...
The beauty of it, you have OPTIONS...And the freedom to stay at a nice hotel or not. Eat at a nice restaurant or not...
Options options options, thats what Im pushing for...
