real-estate slice (6%)
This is all the money behind City & County of Honolulu — $8,358,956 in reported contributions — set beside its decisions. Read it as a question, never an accusation. Real estate is the slice we have traced deepest (donor → parcel → recorded sale), but it is only 6% of the giving; the larger money is contractors, tourism & hotels, unions, and others — those traces deepen as the records open. Where any interest funds the seat and holds business before it, that is the pair to watch.
The real-estate slice — the deepest-traced loop
$514,438 · 6% of givingReal-estate interests gave $514,438 to this council and also build and sell land here. Honolulu publishes parcel/assessment data (RPAD + Oʻahu open-geo); its recorded-sales extract is being sourced — when it lands, the giving×property loop completes here as it does for Maui.
☾☀ Curse-breaker. Under tonight's Hilo, the path to pono is the same on every island: the official can disclose real-estate giving before a land-use or budget vote, recuse where the interest is direct, or decide in the open; the interest can say plainly what it seeks. Aloha is the ask — the record is the light.
