What ever happened to "KEEP PUNA RURAL"? I like Pahoa just the way it has been. Funky, run-down old Hawaii. Why try to turn it into artsy-fartsy Yuppie touristy Petaluma. It is a shame that new chains are moving in with their clorox washed buildings.
Why not get them to cover their buildings with old barnwood and rusty roofing to help Pahoa at least look old Hawaii. That is what folks come to Puna for. The Funk, the hippies, the Bohemian flavor.
That is my idea of an architectural committee.
