"No Relief in Sight"

This article written a little over a year ago by Andrew Gomes of the Honolulu Advertiser discusses some of the issues of affordable housing in Hawaii. He talks about some of the efforts being taken on by government agencies and developers but concludes that there is "No relief in sight" as the demand far outpaces the supply for housing in Hawaii.

One interesting affordable project that is being developed on the Big Island is an affordable condominium complex that will offer 108 two bedroom units for about $290,000. The developer, Westpro Holdings, has already started building modular single-family homes and will be using the same prefabricated construction techniques in their condo project. I'll keep track of this project to see how it goes.
