Honolulu city officials are totally detached from reality, they live in parallel universe. [Affordable housing]

This week, according to KHON2, city officials celebrated the opening of the biggest affordable housing development in Honolulu, named the “Makiki Banyan Housing Community” (https://makikibanyan.com/availability/). However, behind it is something that isn’t affordable at all since for $2,736.00 you could rent a 700sqf 2br, but only if your household income is below $97,000 (around $6,400 if you’re not paying for insurance nor saving for a 401k, so most likely it’s $5,400), this price does not include a parking space, with one parking, it will be around $3,000.

Call me crazy, but these people like Biangardi and everyone around him who celebrates this event, are lunatics that do not have any sense of reality. I wish the entire project will be audited, and if anything is incorrect, people who failed will pay back since it was built under the city's Bill 7 workforce housing program, which is nothing else but a scheme to help big developers omit regulations in order to build affordable apartments. So far all of the buildings made under this law are extremely expensive, have small apartments, no parking spaces, no facilities, and sit empty.
