Big Island Living- Puna District - Beyond Tiki

I made the mistake of showing Mrs. Seamus, and she's all but got us packed. Has anyone had any experience living in this area? I know it rains alot. I know basic goods and services are "expensive". I know jobs are scarce. But what else, good and bad? We were there a few years back but stayed mostly on the Kona side. What we saw of Hilo and the surrounding area we loved, but at the time weren't considering actually living there. Anyone got any living in Hawaii pros or cons ?
