Banks are perfectly willing to get involved, but only for those who can afford the mortgage, which disqualifies most native Hawaiians. Per the article, DHHL had to look through the first 4000 names on the waiting list to find 271 qualified homebuyers. The other 3729 don't get to live on the land that is their birthright.
