One can see that a close view is possible. Very close.
Too dangerous. Better we should keep people away by using lots of extra Civil Defense and HPD overtime, we can pay for this with a small tax increase.
Once tourism is destroyed, we can work on dismantling shoreline access and big-box retail stores.

Found that other post by GN
Totally understand why my question is impossible for you.
I'd side with glinda on that one over 1V1 as much as I understand his POV.
As for your comments on this thread.
Being so sure about risks to tourists is dangerous pretence.
There are other ways to make money.
Otherwise,
glinda is male, fun.

Having been a 40 year HPP resident and sold out just in time before the new eruption started, I am now visiting the Grand Canyon where anyone can stand anywhere on its lookout rock cliff edges to take pictures, there are no nanny warning signs anywhere, only foot tall rock walls you can easily step over to get a better view and a short guard rail next to the description plaques...Hawaii is such a fearful nanny State, it stifles commonsense to the point of Sheeple breeding...just sayin'

Just in time for what?
HPP must've looked very different in the 70s!

"no nanny warning signs"
Weird there was in 2007 when I went through. I remember wondering who would need a sign considering the size of the thing.
Also if the canyon was into launching flaming rocks there would be signs about that for sure.
And what if there was a chance where a bunch of it gets covered very quickly in ash? Would that be worth a warning?
Oh, MarkD, the "two clowns" of GN's are the OP's of that post. Not you. Not all that hard to figure out really. Maybe if there was a sign...

If makuu farmers market built a fairly tall platform, like on top of a shipping container they could cut the Gov out and charge people a buck to see

Seeb, great idea, I'll invest. Any other private commercial property outside the roadblocks that we could do this on?

You couldn’t get permits to build something anywhere else. It would have to be mobile - a tourist bus with a viewing platform on top or something like that
The Hub fund ( whatever it’s called) should get a little cut if someone makes money lava viewing

Just saw KGBM News (channel 7) at 5:30 p.m.; they showed a clip of the lava river with big rock islands drifting down. They attributed the footage to a company here; didn't catch the full name but it contained the word Epic.
Anyone know how any business or tour group is getting permission to take this footage?
The news segment even had a person's name attributed to the footage (didn't catch that either). Apparently some people/businesses are feeling very comfortable walking out to the lava river, taking footage and then providing attribution.
Special permission from CD, maybe?
