DHHL Subsistance Farming Lots in Honomu & Pana’ewa

[AaronM]

One acre would be just barely enough for one person to garden and raise chickens. A family of four would need closer to 5 acres at least.

I guess DHHL is setting up some really expensive bachelor/bachelorette pads.

And so the tragic comedy continues...

I have a book which suggests that 5 acres is the practical minimum, and further assumes that there will be commerce, not self-sufficiency.

That said, apparently I can't do math: 16 x half-acre = 8 acres. Maybe the other two are for a corner store?
