HUSTACE: Once again as a reminder, 4 is in . Commissioner Bath, I did just so you're—and you can see on the map there, the couple blocks that jump over Pahoa Road that I guess are a part of HPP there, all of HPP. Is that okay? BATH: Yes. HUSTACE: Okay. So, I'm just moving, basically, one census block at a time here, Chair. Just to try and bring the numbers down a little bit.

LUL No, I was saying, you know, the boundaries between 4 and 5 are probably less critical than between you know, 3 and 5, or something like that. `Cause it's upper and lower Puna.
