The reason the fires were started couldn’t be more clear now.. Thanks, Governor.

Reminds me of Williamsburg Va...Rockefeller bought up the sleepy old Town ANONOMOUSLY until it became known...and turned it into a billion dollar business that’s still going today.

Lahaina as it was is irreplaceable. What made it so charming was that it was a mishmash of local vendors and restaurants, in a very old town setting. It simply won’t be what it was if it is all corporatized.

If I was a business owner or home owner in that fire devastated area, I don't know what I would do. First you would get an insurance payoff on the lost property then an offer to sell that property. More than enough to move on......

My first thought would be to accept a purchasing price on my business property twice what it was worth.

I don't know, but if I was in the mind to sell, it would be for everything I could get.

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

The real tell is who the state sells it to.

“The government should just say ‘no, you’re not allowed to develop. Say no, just flat out no.”

Wishful thinking, Mr. Dimuro. Sadly, developers own the states, county commissions, and city councils. They get their way.

A raging wildfire... just a convenient way to force the Native Hawaiians and local-born off the island. It has been a problem for decades that the locals are being forced off their homeland so the affluent can build their vacation homes in paradise and the developers can build luxury tourist resorts. The locals who have been there for generations, they can stuff it. Maybe they'll build a government dormitory where they can live in squalor and work for slave wages at the luxury resorts that will be built where their homes used to stand.

I have no doubt they are already planning a replacement "historic fishing village" that will be about as authentic as any Disney theme park. And of course, the government officials will pocket their share. Unfortunately, I doubt even this will wake up Hawaii as to what is really going on in their midst.

If the census data is accurate, most of the residents of Lahaina aren’t/weren’t of native Hawaiian ancestry.

Bet that explains a lot.

Interesting information in this Tik-Tok video from a citizen journalist on the ground.

Supposedly a lot of the territory now being ravaged was highly coveted by land speculators. However, they were prohibited from obtaining and developing it...except in the event of a "natural" disaster".

It's quite convenient coincidental.

Maybe during the fire the Governor was yelling, “Burn, Baby, Burn”, Dems need the land
