Housing bill not fully developed

“The current one-size-fits-all approach to single-family zoning does not reflect the needs of Hawaiʻi’s people,” the Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center for Law & Economic Justice stated, in written testimony favoring this bill. Agreed. However, a one-size-fits-all change in Hawaiʻi law also fails to serve the public interest in the most desirable way, in that it ignores specific circumstances of diverse residential neighborhoods. SB3202 needs more work.
