Then I propose the Hawaiian government do the same thing with land costs. I believe they should put price controls on their land based on the averages of the market in Phoenix, Omaha, El Paso, Grand Rapids, and Helena.

Same principle. There is a finite amount of land available, and I don't think it's right that if someone wants to sell their land that they be able to charge more than I would pay for it on the averages from those other cities.

I admit this is a bit extreme, but it isn't really much different.
