2-acre lot in a walkable neighborhood? How on earth are you expecting to sustain commerces, schools and or anything with a density of 250 house/km2. Your dream hawaian neighborhood is another ridiculous american suburb where only a few chosen live close enough to walk to a car dependent commercial street with ungodly amount of wasted space on parking. If you want walkable neighborhood, you will have to accept to live way closer to your neighbors. As a comparison, I am about to build a house on a .15 acre plot close to a small village with walkable access to parks, public transit, school, nature preserves, ski station... You can't build that if your plots are 2 acres, you need to densify.

My point is it's not sustainable or universal. There will be winners and losers. If you want to go first come first serve, that's fine, if you want to go on pure economics and push out locals that's going to be unpopular with the locals.

You need a healthy turnover for community to sustain itself. You can't be too biased towards locals because you will end up with a stagnating community with a whole lot more problems with your schools/hospitals/insfrastructure/...
