If my understanding is correct, the media is treating Zuckerberg very unfairly. My understanding is:
1. The land ownership has been diluted over time such that there are many people who own small shares.
2. Zuckerberg is working with the majority owners of each parcel to trigger a forced-sale of the full ownership, which he intends to purchase.
This is no different than a majority shareholder forcing the sale of a business. It's a total non-story.
- xiaoma 10y ago>"It's a total non-story." If he were Hawaiian, that would be true. But he's an outsider and he's world famous. It's a story.

- marcoperaza 10y agoAn outsider? He's an American and he has the same right to buy property in Hawaii as anyone else in our country.
- vkou 10y agoDo you know how Hawaii came under American control? He is absolutely an outsider in Hawaii.
- drakonandor 10y agoLess than 25% of Hawaii is ethnically native.
- vkou 10y agoThat has nothing to do with the culture of the place. If I invite you into my home, and ask you to take off your shoes, it doesn't matter whether or not I'm white, black, or reptilian. Please take off your shoes.
- csallen 10y agoIsn't it a bit different if your home isn't actually yours, but belongs collectively to whoever lives there, under a system of rules decided by the people who live there, and those rules say it's fine if he doesn't want to take off his shoes?
- HillaryBriss 10y agoyes, in theory. but, there's a difference between this particular theory and actual reality in Hawaii.
