I think Jamie does live on the ocean, and, if it is the Jamie I know of, is a pretty nice member of our community.
There is a place across from mine and one lot over on which construction stopped a couple of years ago. It is now slowly declining. It has been for sale for awhile. I have been hoping someone would buy it and either tear down the bulding (it is just a garage with a room on top) or finish it. I do not know the circumstances that led to the halt in construction. Too bad. The lot has a killer view to infinity. My bunny goes there sometimes.
I don't think that Hawaii County is going to condemn such places unless they become a direct hazard to adjoining properties...and that would need to be proceeded by a litany of complaints. Enforcement is always the issue, I think.
In the case of the property across the street and over from me, I think the market will take care of it and once it reaches the right price, someone will buy it for the spectacular view and, with all due respect, hopefully tear it down and build something that is exactly to my taste in close consultation with me and my bunny.
