had been purchased a couple yrs ago for 100K to 200K are now listed the 45K to 65K range .

We think 55K is a fair price - these families are asking 150K to 379K
...
On Rd 8 in HA the lots on pavement are going for 23K to 50K .

Mahalo HERE OR OVA THERE PRIMAL EDGE no thanks - we are busy farming 60 ares up Hamakua ATM to help supply food basket island wide .
recently - couple weeks ago = mid morning suits in hard hats and orange vests by Lama Street standing around watching ONE ( 1 )COUNTY worker operate a back hoe .
SO we turned around to inquire whats going on and all very polite talk story for over an hour .
Turns out this new hire is one cousins unko of aunty of sisters brother from another mother and all 14 suits from county n state in nice dress slacks shiny black shoes - aloha Sig Zane shirts n hard hats were just talking story to make sure the new hire from county or state could lift the bucket up n down fully empty for 2 plus hours .
.
We bid them all a splendid day in the most happiest of ways in full pidgin English and the GOD BLESS YOU and went back to our way to our organic farm up Hamakua .
All the while the suits were on their way to a 2 hour lunch at yacht club or Seaside restaurant in state n county vehicles to discuss the new hire and his ability to lift the empty bucket up 6 ft and lower it down to ground 4 sure .
YOUR TAXES AT WORK - at least keeping the tax kala local .

To the mainland, where homeless and gangs rule? No thanks.
I'll wait for Southwest to commence nonstop service from Hilo to Thailand for cheap.
Re: Budget out of control. I suppose they're referring to so called legacy costs? Pensions, healthcare, benefits for all of those maligned county employees both current and retired.
