large octagonal roof, solar paneling to provide the necessary power for the banking, postal, some governmental and transportation hubs that have outlets within the center while sidewalks spiral off the center leading to the unique shops, eateries and recreational activities Pahoa has been known for for generations. All the fast food places are gone. Cute shops can actually stay in business. Drug dealing scum in prison so visitors don't think, 'get me outta here!' Continued community based businesses and markets. Cleaner streets. A thriving community that perpetuates culture, is based on sustainability, respect for the environment & the people in it! Needs more festivals, art events, art center, etc. It's still charming and small town More parks /reareation Jobs Library!!! Art Festival Cultural Center Performing Arts Center Senior Center most of my freinds gone, transportion by bike, electric, greenways, maybe no fast food restaurant, ha ha Lot better shopes, roller stating for the kids More senior center /services. It is all Home grow & shareing Hopefully lined mainstreet w/ intersting shops more cultural events - parking perhaps even closed off to traffic & made into a pedestrian center - benches to sit and mingle w/ freinds- Safe! Bike paths & walkikng. Public park a more walkable town that has a variety of services. Good housing choices for different income groups, that isn't sprawled out and more centralized. Keeping mom and pop small businesses and not having huge chains come in. Tree lined streets, bike paths and a respect for the heritage and history of the area. A green town that cares about the environment and people. ice heads, drug dealers, junk cars, white do- gooder hippies, pretty much what it is now, We are not KONA or HILO so we need to stop wanting to be them. Not so ghetto. Modernized ... I dont go for this cultural crap. I want to see development .... a major hotel ... a major restaurant (not fast food) Luquins parking lot would be paved. The laundramat would be updated.
