Of course it doesn't HAVE to cost $250K per lot to do infrastructure improvements for Hawaiian Homelands lots. It just costs that much to do it the DHHL way with their "insider" contractors. I suspect the bidding process is skewed, but have no hard evidence other than conversations with contractors who say the cost is ridiculously inflated.
When some DHHL beneficiaries expressed a willingness to have gravel roads and catchment water, they were told "no how, no way." So they have people dying of old age on the waiting list while others get rich off the slow process.
