Hawaii Transportation Issues
Last updated:
05/12/2008 12:15:30 PM
Transportation can be a key factor in the value of
Hawaii real
estate, especially on Oahu and Honolulu. The more distant from employment centers and the
longer the commute time, the less homes tend to cost.
Land tends to be less expensive the further away it is
from the urban core. The exception to this are resort
properties.
The challenges that municipalities face is providing
adequate transportation: adequate, well maintained roads
as well as alternative means such as private and public
mass transit. The City and County of Honolulu is
currently debating the building of a $3.7-$6 billion
rail system. This is controversial, not only for the
cost and the small area of Oahu served, but because the
experts and city officials admit it will not reduce
congestion on our roadways. Follow the saga in the
articles below.
The other
recent controversy was over the Hawaii SuperFerry, the
Inter-Island ferry that is now in operation again.
Please review the many news articles that chronicle the
challenges of this venture.
If you are seeking real
estate in Hawaii we can help you with information on commute routes and times. The articles below include news articles
relating to local Hawaii transportation activity that
may have an impact
on housing values.
