In this episode, Daniel Robbins interviews Lailan Bento, the owner of Hawaii Development Group, who is at the forefront of addressing Hawaii's affordable housing crisis.
Lailan shares her journey of becoming a real estate developer. She discusses the unique challenges of building in Hawaii, including navigating what she calls the strictest building regulations in the U.S. and the high cost of living that drives local families to leave the islands.
Lailan dives into her current project—developing a city of affordable housing in Hawaii—and her commitment to helping native Hawaiians stay in their homeland. She also talks about her experience working with her family, the importance of community, and her initiatives to support education and preserve local parks.
