text: Sue Ann Lee:  “A million-dollar property is very common now in Honolulu,” she said.  You got that right, Ms. Lee!  As little a 20 years ago, a million dollar property would still be limited to the east side and maybe some places in down town or beach fronts.  But nowadays, even in my cracker box neighborhood in Ewa Beach, new homes are near $800,000.  My house alone is valued at near $600,000, and we bought it for $270,000.  If the city is going away from a flat ratio per dollar value, then at least raise the higher tax ceiling to, say, 1.5 million at the low end, then go up from there.
