"cesspool"?

[beachmama23]

does anyone know how much a cesspool or septic tank would cost in the Puna area???

[leilaniguy]

About $2000 for a cesspool, $6000 for septic.

Interesting that the article says that one resident "bought" their unit for $20,000 in the last few years:

********************
Vishaka Jokiel, a single-mother who has lived at the Kailuan since 2004, said she has found temporary housing in Waimanalo. Cost has prevented Jokiel, who paid $20,000 for her unit in the Kailuan, from finding a permanent home, she said, adding that other former leaseholders have had equal difficulty.
***********************

Anyone who buys a piece of property in Hawaii for $20,000 and believes that they really own it is sadly mistaken.

well, you could buy land (fee simple) and own it. with such a short period of time left on the lease, i don't understand why anyone would have purchased a unit in the kailuan? another perspective would be that it would have been a good investment if you divided her $20,000 by 4 years and compared it to market rents in kailua. she would never have been able to rent a place for under $500/month.
