control to do that, to change those inputs, and he can do that at a neighborhood level or <br />a mass island-wide level. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: It gets complicated, doesn’t it. <br /> <br />MR. ADAMS: What’s that? <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: I said it gets complicated. <br /> <br />MR. ADAMS: Well, it is complicated. <br /> <br />MS. NAHOOPII: It is complicated. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: Okay, let me ask a question, then, a simple question. This one, maybe I <br />can handle this one a little bit better. Let’s say my home. All right, you’ve got me <br />appraised at $250,000 from my tax appraisal, okay? That comes out of your <br />department, right? Okay, but you made a mass appraisal in my area, in my <br />neighborhood. How come the other homes have different numbers on theirs? <br /> <br />MS.

NAHOOPII: Because the computer knows the difference. Because your buildings <br />may be different, so your cost is going to be different. His house might be older, the <br />depreciation would be different. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: But who’s making all that up? Who’s determining all that? <br /> <br />MR. ADAMS: You have some models. <br /> <br />MS. NAHOOPII: Oh, when you go out to look at the house, when they pick up the <br />building originally— <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: --Who’s looking at the house? <br /> <br />MS. NAHOOPII: When they go back out later on, it would be the appraiser for the area. <br />But the appraisers cannot do their own dwellings. <br />24 <br /> <br />
