State Rep. Diamond Garcia has a great proposal with developer Peter Savio (“Republican bill would let only current, former residents buy Hawaii homes,” Star-Advertiser, Jan. 31). Why not give the local people the preference to sell housing to Hawaii residents and former residents? They should come first.
It’s a common-sense idea. But the Democrats will stop it from going any further. I thought every party works for the good of the local people; I guess the Democrats have their own agenda.
We are lucky to have our own house, but what about future generations of our children ?
This is why they leave the islands to buy a home elsewhere. If the Democrats do not pass what Garcia envisions, then my family and I will lean toward the Republicans. Linda Lingle was a Republican and the best governor Hawaii ever had.
