A Wild West neighborhood called Kalapana Gardens, Hawaii is arising on a barren lava field beneath Kilauea volcano, where the county building code is widely ignored and construction continues even as lava burns down homes.

    I'm not from Kalapana, but I am from Puna. Nice story, but how about a story featuring the generations of Hawaiians still living in Kalapana?
