Long-term housing supply and owner-occupancy decline in condo complexes
Maui County
Summary
Testifiers documented sharp drops in owner occupancy at complexes like Kaanapali Royal (54% to 9% since 2015) and Hale Ono Loa (70% to 3%), arguing these were once affordable housing. Council Member Cook reported Kihei businesses struggling without local residents, and cash buyers from the mainland dominating sales.
