It is a pretty laid back place, and there is a lot of “ohana pride” meaning, that everyone is family and people will look out for you. Fern Forest however is right next to the active mouth of Kilauea, Hawaii’s most active volcano that has een spewing lava into the ocean for the past 25 years.

There is plenty vog at times, and it rains quite a bit. THere is heavy spiritual activity there, meaning that there are a lot of ghosts.

As far as crime and all that goes, she is pretty darn safe.

A lot of people grow and smoke marijuana that is about it.

It is a safe place. Would I move there from Kona? yes. Would I be afraid of that part of the island having a major earthquake? Yes

Other than that she is safe, however the ground trembles quite a bit from the volcano. I would not build anything permanent there…there is a bunch of white people there that live in plywood shacks because they know not to build anything expensive or permanent.
