  • The City and County of Honolulu is in the process of selling the Piikoi Mini Park, officials said the nearly 5,000 square-foot lot is a surplus property that has been underutilized for several years. But one group that advocated for more green spaces on the island said they wish the City would better use the park rather than sell it.

    $112,000? I wonder which politicians' friend will get to buy it, then rezone it commercial, making it worth a million.

    It would be great if the City built a children's playground with play equipment with walls or fencing surrounding it on the Lunalilo St. side and Piikoi side with a gate because of the traffic. There're a lot of kids in the area because of all the apartments in the Makiki area and no nearby playground equipment for children. OR, if the City rezoned the lot to A-2, like the zoning of the rest of the neighborhood, then possibly they might be able to sell it for $1.1 - 1.2 million. A developer could possibly build 25 affordable 1 & 2 bdrm. units on the lot. A new affordable apartment building of about the same size is being built right down the street at the next corner on Pensacola St. I am a Realtor and small developer. Just my thoughts.

    Bad precedence. Mini playground for keiki would be better. Stop selling public lands.

    Costs of upkeep are unrealistic knowing the disease of crime in Makiki and the traffic cluster-f that space is known for. That space is inherently not safe with the high tension traffic and the under freeway shelter it offers to crime. As holistically minded as I am for how open spaces offer communal healing, that small open space does not offer benefits proportional to the crime and traffic danger it already presently attracts.

    That tree will have to be uprooted or the land is useless for development. Children and families don’t use it as a playground or picnic area because there’s no public restrooms, benches or running water. It’s primarily for the homeless and chronics across the street. Cops and City workers keep chasing them out like clock work once a month and they are back the very next day. Sorry, tree huggers. But if left unused the drug and homeless trash problem will stay pervasive and that intersection is one often most pilau in the city. No one can use the sidewalk because of the “campers.” If it’s privately owned, you bet the new owner will make sure that intersection stays clean. Lesser of two evils.

      Whoever the new owner is needs to get inputs from the community to make it better. No development.

      No water no bathroom homeless seems a perfect plan for a cheap land grab. Hmmm years ago this could have been the intention for this sale. all part of an agenda. strange how to have to think this way yet one's gotta question everyone's motives these days. The homeless are here and will move elsewhere maybe into your neighborhood. Follow the moneyFollow the money Follow the money

    The City and County doesnt have any ownership of land in Hawaii!! They are only caretakers of the land. The lands that the city and state oversee belongs to the people of Hawaii. So they can’t be selling any land. This is a fact. Documented in law.

    Is it fair the only neighbor can sell the public property? When public property needs improvement, it goes to the lowest bidder. Wouldn't the property be sold to the highest bidder instead than only the neighbor?

    So unfounded the city government sells public lands! Why isn't housing being built on that property for our people of Hawaii? Check the history of how the land was stolen and now being sold illegally? The size of the remnant property doesn't matter. It's unhealthy not to have it service the community! Anyway, the state does the same thing -- nothing for years.
