The problem will go away once you take care of the “demand” issue. More supply will do nothing for housing costs.

Okrah's friends going buy all those units on the North Shore.

The real estate market is being propped up by the fed and other political manipulations. It's one more piece in a shaky jenga tower that if pulled out will take the whole system down.

I live on the BI, but have been to turtle bay.
it is a beautiful place!
Traffic SUX! and over built in some areas.
Hawaii housing costs has one problem, a single party run state.

from the lowest level workers to the highest levels of government,
there is no diversity of thought.
No new ideas gets you stagnation,  which is what Hawaii is.
Many continental US states are the same way.  All controlled by Democrats.
Guess which of those states is losing population?  All of them.
Hawaii is losing its youth, what you will have left is what?
Old rich people and only the servants that service their needs.
 

It's cause our policy makers are retards.  The "affordable" condo's are a joke, which is why the most recent ones have lots of vacancies. 

When we did ours some years ago, a single person can make no more than $80K. But a couple was $120K total.  Shouldn't it be $80K X 2 make more sense?  Then add in maintance fee, 1 car payment, insurance, bills, etc...you're mortgage broke.  Even a single person would be struggling if they had any other type of bills.  They would have to live a very frugal lifestyle.

What the state should do is fund the building of a condo and keep the price down.  If we can fund the failed rail, we can fund multiple condos like this.

CMO,
Who in their right mind wants to live in a Condo?
 

Best thing to do on Oahu is to build affordable condos and apartments to keep it cheap and not use up as much land.

Or transfer the population to the Big Island.  Groveler could use more neighbors to talk to.

Hawaii government makes about 20% of its revenue off property taxes. There’s zero incentive to make things more affordable.

Every trick in the book is used to keep prices high. Meanwhile California has reached a new level of desperation trying to stop a market crash…
