The Counties and State passed a series of laws over the last 30 years that has forced the cost of housing out of reach for the average resident. These laws regulate housing development in Hawaii. Individually, each law is well intentioned. But their cumulative effect makes Honolulu, and Hawaii, the most unaffordable place in the country. This is why local people leave Hawaii; and why it is nearly impossible to recruit and retain a highly skilled workforce.
