Sad.

But......Aloha.  That's what makes this place so unique, special, and wonderful.

Bye bye, Kamaina.  I'm so sorry.

They want the Governor to prohibit evictions if the owner of the property wants to sell, renovate or have his family stay there?

Are they nuts?  I did the landlord thing for about 2 years when I owned a house in Punchbowl and Kailua. Never again will I be a landlord.

Nothing but a major headache. Tenants finally left and I sold the Punchbowl house. 

This is what happens when you have 1 party rule the state for decades.  There's no incentive to make cost of living cheaper as they will continue to get voted in.

If HI had a cheaper cost of living, people would be able to live within the area.  Many of HI's problems stems from this.  The fire itself is unforeseen, but the deeper consequences of not being able to afford paying a mortgage plus rent is the problem.

Hawaii's politicians always talk about "affordable housing".  But they always cave to outside investors. 

I mentioned in another thread about when I was working the housing developments in Kapolei.  The developer rep told me multiple houses of a cul-de-sac was bought from the same person.  And it wasn't a Hawaii resident.  It was a person from Hong Kong.  I remember doing service calls on these new houses and the residents were never present.  That's because the owner bought the house(s) as an "investment".  And this was a common occurrence.

Meanwhile regular Hawaii residents remain economically blocked out from the housing market.  We were basically building cracker box houses for close to a million dollars.

Our politicians continue to talk about affordable housing, especially when it is re-election time.  Just ask governor greed.  Our politicians continue to sell out Hawaii residents by allowing these developments.  Of course they will demand the developer put aside so much units and declare them as affordable units. 

Yeah.  A 1000 unit development with 80 deemed "affordable".  Then go on the news and smile and shake hands with the developer as if they solved the housing crisis.

So full of sh*t.

Let me see,
I was born and raised in southern California
about 17 years.
After military service,
I moved on to WA state for 21 years
Wa state is once again my legal but not necessarily
year round physical location.
Hawaii residency is 24 years now.
Can't vote here but I can take a dump
and flush it into my cesspool.

My point is Y'all move to where you have work and can survive.
I'd leave Hawaii in a second if I thought Mobile Bay, Alabama
was a better place to live.
I'm not married to the Aina, Where "I throw my hat is my home".
If you can't do that, you are seriously retarded.
 

according to groveler I am seriously retarded.

according to him.
