Editor’s Corner
The geographical makeup of families ebbs and flows with the economy and social norms. At one time, generations lived and died in the same place. At the beginning of the twentieth century, young men from all over the world left their countries and came to the United States in search of prosperity and opportunity. Today, it’s becoming more expected and acceptable for family members to stay close, if not live in the same home, and help support each other. With everyone in one place, you’ll need more space. In this issue, we highlight spacious estate homes. Old Hawaii or Kamaaina style estate homes offer self-sufficient setups for multigenerational living— plentiful acreage, numerous bedrooms and dwellings, and pleasant seclusion. Estate homes can make for comfortable living today, and whatever the future brings tomorrow. Say Aloha! Send editorial & advertising inquiries to Maresa.Giovannini@lhmhi.com or call 808.782.0067
