Oahu affordable housing could include $1M homes under state guidelines; critics say that’s ‘out of whack’

Shown are a pair of renovated 3-bedroom units in the Kuapa Isle townhome complex in Hawaii Kai that recently sold for $1 million.

An odd thing has happened in the realm of affordable housing on Oahu.
