Honolulu Mayor to Ink Contentious Affordable Housing Deal

By /
Honolulu Mayor Peter Carlisle plans to sign the purchase and sale agreement to give 12 of the city’s affordable housing to a group of private developers.

Although the city will get $142 million, the deal has been criticized for what some have characterized as questionable bidding practices and for  reducing workforce housing.

Carlisle plans to sign the deal in his office at 1 p.m. today.

Here’s a story about the Honolulu City Council’s approval of the sale.
