It’s exploitation of vulnerable disaster victims. A pause on land transfers is warranted.

Yeah, I was reading the article thinking they mean others will somehow take pieces of land they don’t own, start building on it, and then get to keep the land due to some obscure laws. But no, like you say it’s literally about voluntary sale of land.

Which is why the governor of Hawaii makes the decision and not you.

It is probably though process. But why not allow sales on valuation that matches last year for example? That should be close enough to fair market value and allow people to start rebuilding with the money.
