Craig Harris

Our roving correspondent Craig Harris found himself in West Papua not too long ago, where Yali tribe members took an interest in our rental housing story. Harris said West Papua can be hard to reach due to its remoteness but that multinational corporations are there exploiting the vast natural resources of the island. Housing prices remain unaffected, however, and the Yali thought Santa Barbarans should know that Papuan huts are available for much less money.
