Interesting story in today's Honolulu Advertiser (http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/ar.../ln/ln03a.html).
Since these homes will be built on Oahu, Maui and the Big Island, it should help those Hawaiians who need affordable housing. BUT the people will only own their house, and not the land underneath (although the lease rate of $1 is negligible). Why can't HHL and the state just let the people buy outright the land on which they build their houses? At some point, what would stop the State from reclaiming the land and forcing people out of their homes?
Anybody got any ideas?
