How Convenient: Hawaii Governor Reveals State Plans “to Acquire Land” Ravaged by Wildfires (VIDEO)

On Monday, Hawaii’s Democrat Governor Josh Green announced that his administration is actively considering acquiring properties in Lahaina that have been devastated by recent wildfires.

A total of 99 deaths were recorded as a result of the wildfires that occurred in Maui. Concerns have been raised among officials regarding the potential increase in the death toll, as just 25% of the burn area has been searched thus far.

Local residents are grappling with not only the loss of homes and loved ones but the unsettling attention of developers looking to capitalize on their tragedy.

USA Today reported a particularly distressing account of Tammy Kaililaau, whose home of 20 years was reduced to ashes.

Less than a week after the catastrophic event, she received a Facebook message from someone in real estate. Kaililaau, along with other residents, had been warned via social media that developers might try to buy their land, so she ignored the message.

John Dimuro, a resident on the island for more than 40 years and an employee for Marriott in West Maui, summed up the local sentiment against large corporations or wealthy individuals buying up the land. “The government should just say ‘no, you’re not allowed to develop,'” he said on Monday. “Say no, just flat out no.”

Governor Green vowed to “protect” the land from foreign buyers looking to exploit the situation, The Post Millenial reported.

Governor Green expressed his determination to prevent this tragedy from becoming a mere memory or a chance for foreign investors to capitalize on the misfortune of others.

The whole thing (fire & annexation) has probably been orchestrated at the highest state levels in cahoots with a few commercial conglomerates...

Set a fire, refuse to release water for use, and bulldoze all that brand new commercially useable land for secret bribes and more taxes to be stolen from the serfs...

[mware]

Well we know now why the politician in Hawaii are saying they are “A media free zone” Loved when Will Cane said, no they aren't I'm here and with the help of Elon Musk and his sky satellite will report on what is going on.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Agree.

[magooey]

I read that the Governor has already announced they plan to purchase large amounts of burned land.

Didn't Nero do something similar to Rome?

[Pilsner]

After much of Rome burned on his watch, Nero seized a huge tract of burned-out land, at a bargain price, to build the Domus Aurea (Golden House) palace complex.

Cue the theories that the State of Hawaii allowed the fires to burn in order to facilitate the purchase of the land.

[Texas resident]

So the state buys up the burned up land, sells it at a profit to a developer then reaps lots of tax revenue down the road.

Hell of a deal.

[Ann Archy]

WHO STARTED THE FIRE???????

[Lockbox]

There might be a legal precedent. Land snatching. [searches books] “L-l-land. See snatch.”

[RetiredTexasVet]

Well at least he will keep the land out of foreign hands if the state buys it up cheap .... it will be the hands of his friends and giant corporations after his cut.

[Tzimisce]

So a bunch of libs in a far away place are going to lose their posh mansions.

Who gives a crap?

It’s the socialism they keep pushing for at work.

[hinckley buzzard]

Yep. “Lahaina Estates”, a soon to be opened gated community. Homes starting at 1.5M. Locals are encouraged to apply…for employment.

[Albion Wilde]

Reminds me of
The Highland Clearances

1+1=2

Translated: chicom flue crap + Hawaiian Arson = they will kill us anyway they can and they don’t care who knows.

Can You pass Math 101 now ?

Next assignment is ? What’s the next page of the playbook say ?

[jjotto]

The state already owns about a third of Maui. Next largest owner is Alexander & Baldwin, real estate company that started plantations and irrigation about 150 years ago. They own less than 10% of Maui.

[Carriage Hill]

“What’s the next page of the playbook say ?”

Palestine, OH, was a chemical dud.
Chinese-backed biolab in California was a dud.
Next up: major nuke accident drifting eastward.

[Tellurian]

Don’t people already in [own?] the land and don’t they have insurance to cover any losses?

Many have mortgages and therefore only partial ownership. They will have to negotiate with the bank for a re-building loan. The banks and dozens of government "authorities" are going to want to set the new rules, and boy can they dream up new rules. The red tape could get confounding and oppressive.

Those who own outright, as long as they had insurance, might be in a better position, but if the powers that be have other ideas about what Lahaina should look like, then again, the red tape could be horrifically discouraging.

Modern developers hold all the persuasive cards when it comes to nudging bureaucrats to treat them with respect. Frustrated individual property owners, not so much.

JMHO

[mabarker1]

I wasn’t even thinking about the duds they had but be assured that they learned shit and will adapt.

Or high altitude hot waste scattering that I think happened on a “small scale” back in the 40’s and up through the 50’s and even beyond. ? How prevalent was cancer before say... 1900 or before ? That shit is rampant now and could be much worse.

I’m really concerned about a jfk situation.

bassturds !!!

Time out, My head hurts.
