    It's wild how greed destroys cities and towns, and then the greedy folks complain about how trashed everything is and how many homeless folks are roaming around. Imagine if this whole "rich area" was developed into normal middle class (well, what used to be middle class, since the middle class has been obliterated) homes and neighborhoods. The overall situation on the island would probably be way better off with more people living comfortably (not excessively) and working class folks could maybe afford family homes. I'm a class of 93 high school grad and I'm still trying to wrap my head around how badly American society has failed. And before anyone vomits up a political party to blame, you should realize that it isn't a party issue, it's a Rich vs Poor issue, as it has always been.

      Not exactly. If the rich people left then it would just become slums and then people like you would complain about "white flight". The reason why homes are unaffordable is because of artificial scarcity. The majority of land in Hawaii is owned by the state and can't be used for housing. Then what housing can be built is too expensive because of regulations and building codes.

    Everyone knows that Oahu is the sacrificial island you go to shop and leave. Kauai is unaffordable, Maui is expensive now too, Molokai and Lanai are closed, which leaves Puna on the Big Island the only affordable option for many, and now it’s blowing up. Puna is the fastest growing district in the state but the infrastructure is lacking severely. Traffic, postal, food, very behind. The growth potential is huge and it’s happening. We’re over here cashing in on the building boom because you can’t stop it. It’s nice that you can have space though. One lot in Puna would hold eight houses in Oahu for a small fraction of the price. People from all the other islands and California are pouring in because it’s cheap compared to there.

Meanwhile HPP in lower Puna is expanding rapidly because it’s cheap and a higher grade lava zone, but even that’s an illusion. Kona isn’t safe because of Hualalai and Mauna Loa.

    A sad fact about “East O’ahu”, prior to being developed, it was one of the last (or maybe even THE last) places that had a Hawaiian village (on O’ahu). All of the people were evicted from an area that some peoples families have lived for hundreds of years… so they could develop mansions for the rich people, mostly Americans. Those Hawaiians became homeless, like so many other Hawaiians kicked off of our ancestral lands, for outsiders to bulldoze our sacred sites and burial grounds… so outsiders can live here.
    Side note: are you sure Paul Mitchel lives in East O’ahu? He used to live in Lanikai in Kailua, I thought he still did… well not “live” there, but own a house there.

      There is no inequality in the US. Says so in the Constitution. Everyone has the right to "life, liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness". Nobody's in anybody's way except themselves. You have the right to pursue homes like these through hard work - maybe you'll get one, maybe you won't. That's up to the individual how hard they want to work for it.
      All that said, Hawaii is a different story in a lot of ways. Given that it was once a sovereign kingdom, I would like to see it go to an autonomous territory of the US, with our constitutional rights, and US military defense, but like with the Faroe Islands, there should be a law to stop outsiders from buying up Hawaiian land and building these tacky homes unless they meet a majority Polynesian DNA threshold. I think that would create more opportunities for native Hawaiians to be able to live in their own land again. But, pipe dreams, because that will never happen. Makes too much sense. As it stands now, as part of the US, every US citizen - and foreigners - have the right to buy land and homes anywhere across the country, including Hawaii, unfortunately, and that, I believe, is wrong. That's the only form of inequality I see here.
