I’m a Big Islander . You could not pay me to live in the Puna District . I avoid the place like the plague.

Agree that the Puna District is the most low-rent, rainy, muggy, voggy part of the Big Island.

The Hilo Hawaiian Hotel used to have a certain cachet. They had a great Sunday Morning Brunch Buffet! Downtown Hilo was charming. Used to commute between there and Kona-Kailua which, in the 90s, still had a certain flair. But now it, too, has gone downhill. When I once complained to the manager of the King Kam about a sanitary problem, he told me with a stoney face: We're a budget hotel! (They used to have a great Sunday brunch, too!)

I suppose some developments in Kohala might still be nice.
