I didn't look at any statistics just what I see in Kona. As far as immigrants, I don't think we can gauge that either since most of them are undocumented. but I just call it like I see it through my own experiences. Also, since global warming is affecting not only the islanders of Polynesia it is creating monster storms, tornadoes etc... on the mainland. People don't want to live in deep freezes or heatwaves, or flooding so they will look for other places to live.

You can also see the influx of Mexicans when you go to the bank after a whole bunch of them got paid. My husband said he waited in the line for two hours before he was able to see a teller. He was a little frustrated about that.

That was Beachboy's quote. Maybe he has the statistics.

Aloha HA Residents,
Our front acre and half is the red dirt/ ash soil it grows lots of guava . well that floods in 6-8 inches then out the front/ nice stream when it rains, so what to do? the rear 1.5 acres lava flowed in so we have some height to work with.My best guess is long driveway to house and more planting. need neighbors suggestions ? We are in the planning stages and want to get it done right.
Without anything to go by except what i mentioned above, i read that better drainage is coming and wonder if that will reduce some of my water??
mahalo, chip
we are on rd 6

Hi Chip,
Water running when it rains is a hard one. If you divert it, it may affect neighbors etc... We didn't have a river running through our lot but we did have areas where the water would puddle. Some of it we decided to leave and use it in the future for water plants but the one that was in the driveway we filled with base course. We didn't have a river though so I'm at a lost of advice for you.
