Single homes are everyone's dream, here as there. But they obviously need to be limited in urban and suburban areas.

But if they are everyone's dream why are local governments mandating them? Wouldn't the market dictate that they are everyone's dream?

Obviously buildings with more units on the same area are of higher worth for developers. They also are beneficial from an ecological perspective. From a social perspective? There certainly is a limit to it.

What? Language and culture shouldn’t be a part of learning? Lots of Christian schools (Kamehameha Schools is actually a Christian school), civics and history classes and such; all schools have language classes. I fail to see what’s puzzling here.

The genocide was not finished. We’re still here.

I'm a little drunk but aren't you proving my point?

The only reason for governments to mandate single family homes is to increase the price and keep poor people away?

The joke is that Hawaiian isn't going to open many career doors so it juxtaposed with that part of your post. Outside of HI it's pretty useless, unlike say Spanish.
 
One of the more acclaimed OPs in the WR just copies and paste news articles, usually with no personal imput on the story. Id say the standard is still relatively low here.
Are we talking about the guy who starts threads then bitches to the mods non stop to thread ban people when they comment?

Shots Fired at your boy here, @A Lurker.
 
Really hasn't even been an opening for the introduction of evidence. That's a bad sign. IMO, if there's a disagreement, what you generally want to do is look for conflicting predictions. But I'm still not quite clear on where the points of disagreement are. Just sounds like a couple of people are generally mad about housing prices and looking to fight.

Yea agreed that's a bad sign. But it seems like we've gotten past the magical bits into some general agreement that more houses = better.

Do you think stable housing prices are realistic in major metropolitan areas? Canada's market has been on fire for years now, and it's spreading outward. Maybe I'm being short sighted, but I don't know what else people would put their savings into if homes weren't constantly appreciating.
 
It’s a primary college preparatory school which includes the study of Hawaiian culture and language.

It was founded back in the 1800s by the great granddaughter of King Kamehameha I in order to advance the well-being of Native Hawaiians by providing high quality educational opportunities. It’s by far the best school opportunity out here without having to pay like college tuition prices for private school. And it’s tough to get into.
I hope none of the registration process takes place online or you're FUCKED
 
African man shot in Hawaii. @Jesus H. Sherdog @Cubo de Sangre
Sounds like he was violent and on drugs but he was unarmed.

Tough to say just from that. But an officer sustained multiple facial fractures and a concussion and the suspect was on top of them before he was shot.

Really need more information but it’s possible it was justified. Seems like the three officers should have been able to overpower this one guy but maybe not.

I see it rather from the point of 'political demand'. Influential local families want their kids to be able to build a house locally. Available supply is limited, so they pressure the local government to have single family home zones.

@Jack V Savage is correct in saying that one answer to housing prices being driven up by increasing demand is to increase supply, but obviously supply cannot be pushed up infinitely and the supply must also be weighed in terms of quality and impact on society. It is not sufficient to counter-balance a new single family home area with a social housing high-rise building in the outskirts of the city. Not only does it not serve the same demand (people don't want to be forced to leave their area of the city as tenants or potential owners), but it also has negative side effects you cannot counter balance later whatever you do.

I think that's a good articulation of some of the anxieties people have around the housing issue.

In the US the housing supply can be pushed up so much it might as well be infinite with our demographics....
