Hawaii had a huge problem with the socialist mentality, which resulted in much fewer developments being approved in the past, leading to a high priced rental market, and too few new homes being built, making home prices outrageous compared to most of the country, with New York City and California being the primary exceptions.
Funny how cost of living is always higher in liberal dominated areas.
"Naugle wants to defeat a proposed city law, on the City Commission table again Tuesday, that would force residential developers to sell or rent new housing at artificially low prices, or kick money into a kitty that middle-class buyers could use to buy or rent homes."
Rent control, which is basically what this proposal is, always hurts far more than it helps.
Markets, not mandates!
