YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHonolulu’s launch of new building permit software last month that was meant to speed up construction approvals has not gone smoothly, with permits being issued much slower than they were a year ago.
Since the launch of HNL Build in August, the city has issued fewer than 500 building permits, according to city data shared on Thursday. Last year, the city issued 1,247 – more than twice as many – in August alone, a city report shows.
Mayor Rick Blangiardi defended the troubled rollout, and in a heated speech at the Honolulu City Council on Thursday, he lambasted critics.
