Lot size on real estate listings in Hawaii is expressed in square feet instead of parts of an acre. Any other locale that does this?

California does sometimes on MLS
Coastal Southern California, where non-HOA non-tract homes are rare and it costs a fortune to have anything larger than a 1/4 acre.
I think they do that everywhere. My lot in Down East NC is 10k sq feet, almost .25 acre
Hmmm interesting. It’s the first time I have ever seen it and I have sold numerous homes in Utah, Ohio and Georgia.
Oh yeah. In the US anyway.
SF Bay Area is generally sq ft for lots but sometimes both acres and sq. Ft.
Unless it’s multiple acres, typically expressed in square feet. (US) In Europe it’s square meters, even for land.
You'll laugh at this.
We get hectares on large listings here but they always show acres in the description because most don't know how big a hectare is. I know 40 hectares is roughly 100 acres but I'd rather know how big the land is in acres.
Smaller blocks are in square metres which makes more sense to the average Australian.
1000m² is roughly a quarter acre. A quarter acre block used to be the standard suburban block but it's now considered very big.
