Yes — a Bill 7 building can have ZERO parking stalls. None. And tenants line up to rent them.

🅿️ Each parking stall eats 350 sf of buildable area
🏚️ On a 5,000 sf lot, 4 stalls = 1,400 sf lost = 3–4 fewer units
🏢 Bill 7 wipes parking minimums entirely

Why it works:
🚌 Bill 7 tenants are teachers, nurses, hospitality workers, students
🚲 Most don't have cars — they take TheBus, bike, or walk
📋 Smart developers add a "no on-site parking" lease addendum to keep neighbors happy

Result: more units, lower construction cost, faster lease-up at below-market rents.

The zero-parking model only works in specific neighborhoods. Comment which neighborhood you're in and I'll tell you if it works there 👇

Critics say Bill 7 isn't actually affordable. Civil Beat ran a whole piece on this. Let me address it FAIRLY.

⚖️ The complaint:
Bill 7 caps rent at 100% AMI. In 2026 Honolulu, that's $152K for a family of 4. Critics: "That's middle class, not poor."

✅ The counter:
1️⃣ Hawaii has a missing middle problem — teachers, nurses, firefighters earn $80K–$130K. Squeezed out of $3K+ rentals. Above the low-income cutoff. Bill 7 is the only program that targets them.

2️⃣ Bill 7 doesn't preclude deeper affordability. Many devs voluntarily set rents at 80% AMI for higher tax exemption tiers.

3️⃣ Filtering effect: middle-income tenants in Bill 7 units → free up older market-rate apartments → filter down to lower-income renters. Economists confirm this works.

🎯 Is Bill 7 perfect? No. Is it useful? Yes. Most cities would kill for a tool this fast.

Honolulu's first completed Bill 7 building started as a vacant lot in Makiki. Today it's 26 affordable rental homes — studios and one-bedrooms — built start to finish in just 10 months.
That's the Bill 7 promise: turn empty, underused land into real housing for local families, fast. My partners Paula Lam, Geena Thielen, and I took 1427 Ernest from dirt to leased.
And it's not a one-off. We've delivered the same across Makiki — 1226 Kinau, 1751 Algaroba, and the Makiki Banyan at 1568 Pensacola. That's 166 affordable units completed, with 500 more in the pipeline.
This is what good policy looks like when builders actually use it.

ホノルル初の「Bill 7（条例第7号）」完成物件。マキキにあった空き地が、わずか10ヶ月で26戸のアフォーダブル賃貸住宅（スタジオ・1ベッドルーム）に生まれ変わりました。
これがBill 7の力です。使われていない土地を、地元家族のための住まいへ——しかもスピーディーに。1427 Ernestは、パートナーのPaula Lam、Geena Thielen、そして私の3人で、更地から入居までを実現しました。
これは一度きりの成功ではありません。マキキ一帯で同じ取り組みを進めています——1226 Kinau、1751 Algaroba、そして1568 PensacolaのMakiki Banyan。完成したアフォーダブル住宅は166戸、さらに500戸がパイプラインにあります。
制度を本気で活用すれば、ここまでできる。それを証明する物件です。
