That's why the majority of homes are equipped with seepage leach lines - natural discharge into the ocean (and quite unnoticeable).

Am correcting my own mistake.

OK. I see what you were saying now. You’re right about that. In most instances, moving a house in impractical. Real Estate is one of those things that is not just a commodity. No two pieces of land are exactly the same. So a court is not going to force the owner to swap for some other parcel. So in that case the owner is likely to get a house for a discounted price. The downside of course is they have no control over how the house is designed/built.

1 acre on 19th St in Hawaiian Paradise Park.

My half-acre lot on 19th was ten lots down from Maku'u.

(I'm looking at the official Tax Map right now: Zone 1, Section 5, Plat 21.)

Purchased it for $15k in 1990. The first time in my life that I purchased land. It had been the third lot I had inspected on that day, and I fell in love with it. Told the bulldozer operator to preserve as much of the original surface as possible, and to doze only the actual building sites and driveways.

The full-acre lots must have been farther mauka (mountain-side) - or are you referring to two side-by-side half-acre lots you own(ed)? If I recall correctly, 19th St. got pretty "gnarly" in that direction.

You still own it?

Regards,

Between Paradise and Kaloli. Aunt bought it in the 1950’s. 2 1 acre lots side by side. When she died it went to mother and then mother gave 1 lot to me and 1 to brother. They’re both still full of trees and orchids. I think she paid $1200 each for them.

If you have ever driven that part of the island you would see why. It is just volcanic rock and nothing else. You can probably still get an acre plot for $1000 bucks there. If you like heat, meth, and lava. It’s great.

If this woman was smart, (she sounds like a goofball lib) she would assume the house on the land. It is damn near impossible to get legal permits to build anything in Hawaii. And will anyone tell her the “carbon footprint” of her scheme?
