hey, while you're talking about local families that being able to afford a home...let me chime in since I'm local!
Yes, the housing market has been brutal on local people, but it's the way they live people! I know I'm local, so I feel I can speak on the subject.
Raised on Maui when there was only one street light, having to move to several islands to make ends meet. In Lahaina where I grew up the housing market is out of control! Honolulu where I live now is out of control too. I pay $1500.00 a month rent on a place smaller than 700 sqft!!!
I'm moving the the eastside of Hawaii because I can afford it. Yet I'll have to commute to my job back in forth to Oahu. Local families can afford to buy a home...I'm doing it. It's like someone else here said. Got to stop spending money on weed & video games, and let me throw plate lunches into the mixes too. You can save, anyone can save and make their dream a reality
