A View from the
Other Side
The Suburban Imperative...
Commuting to Los Angeles
T01 trW Sepje46 <16--X 2002
On a PBS report about the lack of
housing affordable for working families
in Burlington, Vermont, the president of a
condo association — fighting an afford-
able housing project next door — said
something like "People should be willing
to pay more for a better quality develop-
ment."
Reminded me of a new Volcano resi-
dent, who, just the week before had
opposed the development of a lumber
yard in Volcano by our hardware store
owner, saying "we should be prepared to
spend a little more to drive to Hilo for
what weneed in order to preserve
Volcano's forest" Luckily, another resi-
dent piped right up and said "I often hear
that kind of thing from people who have
money."
The battle cry of the opposition to
commercial development in Volcano and
elsewhere in Puna has been "to protect
our rural [sic] lifestyle."
In Volcano, we are fighting a battle
against gentrification, suburbanization,
and the destruction of community.
Volcano and other Puna communities
have historically been rural. Country
towns where residents live, shop, work,
worship, go to school and play ball in
that community, and where the residents
collectively feel responsibility for the
lives of all residents — very much like
the kind of towns described in the
Ahwahnee Principles quoted at right.
That's what rural means. Volcano, like
all of Puna, is growing fast, with new
homes constantly being built in our 4,000
or so vacant lots. So, to continue as a
rural town, with a wide variety of jobs for
diverse residents, we need to grow our
local economy, preferably by providing
opportunities for local entrepreneurs.
There is no more local entrepreneur
than our local hardware man, Maurice
Thomas, who left Volcano after high
school for Alaska and Saudi Arabia, to
save money for his dream of being the
hardware store owner in Volcano. His
wife, Jiranan, from Thailand, has opened
one of the best Thai restaurants in the
state, if not the counu-y. I know, because
people who stay at my vacation cottages
tell me so, regularly. I am grateful.
Since about the mid -1970@, an influx of
suburbanites — people who live in
Volcano, but commute daily to Hilo - has
appeared. This, too, is a common pat-
tern. It created Los Angeles among
many other suburban sprawl nightmares
from a network of rural towns con-
nected by narrow roads and trains. Once
the suburbanites come, they rapidly mus-
cle the rural town out of business, until
only commuting professionals can afford
to live there, and almost no one can work
there. The two-lane road widens and
widens, destroying other towns in its
path. The suburbanites oppose business
expansion that would provide local jobs
by claiming to want to "preserve the rural
lifestyle" when what they mean is exactly
the opposite. They want to destroy the
rural lifestyle and replace it with subur-
bia.
I find this particular community- and
diversity -destroying hypocrisy so offen-
sive that it makes it hard for me to dis-
cuss it with those who espouse it. To me
it is the same kind of discrimination as
the Jim Crow South. Not just against
whole classes of people in my town, but,
