Honolulu has been fighting monster homes for years, yet Senate Bill 3202 will aggravate current circumstances.
The purpose of the bill is to reduce housing cost, but as detailed in an article in the Star-Advertiser, government fees and regulation have accounted for a substantial increase in housing prices. Additional homes on lots could require allowances for more driveways. With narrow streets, where will people park?
Some state representatives acknowledged problems with setbacks, parking and other things. These issues demand more study and discussion.
SB 3202 creates false hope and expense for people trying to build multiple houses on smaller lots.
