A Honolulu City Council member voiced her concerns this afternoon about a recent hike in property taxes.
About 250 Oahu homeowners saw their property taxes quadruple this year because of zoning changes.
That means some of those who were paying $2,000 in taxes last year are now paying close to $10,000.
Council member Ann Kobayashi says the hike will not only impact homeowners but renters as well.
"Where are these tenants going to live, we're going to have a larger homeless problem because who can afford increased rents," said Kobayashi.
The City administration and the City Council have each come up with their own plans to help affected homeowners.
