Covering 19 square miles, Waikoloa Village lacks some basic services such as a hardware store and a library. The closest of those services are an 18-mile drive away in Waimea, or 31 miles to Kona and nearly a 62-mile drive to Hilo.
Those poor unfortunate residents!

I hope they enjoy the water restrictions, the Vog, and the homeless. I'll take the Eastside first every day...

How much do they pay people to live over there... because I can't see any reason to live on the crap side of the island... and couldn't imagine anyone wanting to live there.

And they still refer to the Puna side as the wild wild west and are afraid to travel here...

I have to admit .. I enjoy going to costco. But returning home is always a sigh of relief.

Well, the Kona side is a nice place to visit.

This is the same outfit allegedly building the Malama anchored super-strip-mall in Puna.

Rob, every time we stay in Waikoloa it is so hot by 9 AM that there is no one to be seen on the brownish green golf course.
