There is a bill completely re-doing the condo laws, though, that looks like it will pass.

Whats that one all about?

HB 3225 HD1 is a complete recodification of the condo law.

That's a link to the current version but anything can happen to it (except a change to the title of the bill) before the end of the session.

The old condo law was used to split up ag lands (read subdivide) without paying development fees or building infrastructure. Lots of abuse flowed through that loophole.

Housing, Social Science, and Urban Planning are by far the most misunderstood concepts in the State of Hawaii, both at the leadership level AND among the rank and file of those who live here.

Yeah, let’s hope UH Urban and Regional Planning professor Evan Dobelle rectifies that problem with his “research paper” the state is paying him $1.8 million to write.
