Cease building in Puna makai

MyManoa, You were in error...

Hi Carey, thanks for your input, unfortunately, like HOTPE, I think you are missing my point.

I am saying that HPIA gives folks in lava zones access to conventional financing, whereas in our flood zones, no conventional financing is available.  

You can buy a lot in Leilani, put a few points down and walk with paper from any lender, covered by HPIA, and go around the corner and pull a building permit. whereas in Waipio Valley land is bought and sold for cash, or seller financing, only. There is no access to conventional financing. And god help you if you ever want to build.

Really, we are not comparing apples here.

And, still, I get it, it's a flood zone. Even the Army Corp has things to say before you get out of bed in the morning. But it's a free for all in our Lava Zones. Whereas, I think that policy should be reconsidered.
