Many closeknit communities are an asset to living here. Networking and sharing is happening on a more vibrant level, and this should be encouraged. There should be more space for and easier to meet as groups within the community. The Museum is doing a wonderful service by opening its space to various art and cultural groups, but is limited. A vibrant community -built center that is open to all can become the dynamic life of the village where there is an ongoing community art studio, fitness classes, free school, and cultural events. It could be the apex of many spokes going out to Puna neighborhoods that have local community centers. Need more community— need more (NOTE both "FAIR" & "GOOD were checked, "Fair" enter online.) i haven't seen much happening in pahoa.

This town is still seeking an identity. it feels like its dying and is going under and no one can hear it screaming very little going on like community watch, farmers markets, community gardens, etc. at neighborhood level, limited or nonexistent facilities for neighborhoods to use. "blink and you miss it" nature of Pahoa, violent nature of Pahoa town, Need more community— divisions within community and discussion of negative elements Generally good sense of community among those of the communal philosophy, However strong divisions among the Have's & Have -nots.
