“I’m already thinking of ways for the state to acquire that land so that we can put it into workforce housing, to put it back into families, or make it open spaces in perpetuity as a memorial to the people who were lost,” Green commented amid the ruins.
“We want this to be something we remember after the pain passes as a magic place. Lahaina will rebuild. The tragedy right now is the loss of life. The buildings can be rebuilt over time, even the banyan tree may survive, but we don’t want this to become a clear space where then people from overseas just come and decide they’re gonna take it. The state will take it and preserve it first.”
Green expressed concerns over foreign investors exploiting the disaster. In another briefing, Green reinforced his dedication to safeguarding the land for locals. He shared that he discussed with the Hawaiian attorney general about “options to do a moratorium on any sales of properties that have been damaged or destroyed.”
“It’s going to be a very long time before any growth or housing can be built, so you will be pretty poorly informed if you try to steal land from our people and then build here,” he remarked, emphasizing, “I will try to allow no one from outside our state to buy any land until we get through this crisis and decide what Lahaina should be in the future.”
As reported by the Honolulu Civil Beat, the fire razed over 2,000 structures, with three-fourths being residential. The death toll is around 100, but this number is likely to increase as search operations proceed.

Interesting thoughts, thx. -OGINJ
The owners of the land be damned.
I have rarely read anything so callous. Democrats indeed have no soul. They sold it to Satan for profit long ago.
I had a hunch...I looked into the Nature Conservancy and their presence on the island after I read about the island’s Department of Natural Resources. They have a massive area under their control on the island. They are all about not clearing land and leaving it untouched. They are very much a part of the 30x30 plan and brag about it. The fire looks like it may very well have started in the western part of this area.
They are in bed with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The scenic river designation allows them to control 1000 feet on each side of any tributary in that particular area. I hunted one wildlife area for many years that had some 15 fields leased to farming. The ODNR put a stop to that. Now that area is impenetrable brush. Guess who the ODNR wanted to make stewards. I have cautioned these dumbasses in my county about a possible major fire in the future.
They should kick out all the haoles including Zuckerberg and Obama (he's half white).
And Oprah.
Depends on which land.
The land where people’s houses and shops stood?
Or the largely empty grasslands where the fire started?
How does this not violate the interstate commerce clause?
Is he a democrat or not?
That in itself answers your question even though far too many Republicans are no better.
bttt
I suspect that the *you* to whom he is referring is the governor, not you yourself.
Perhaps EPU can clarify.
What crap. These people deliberately set the fires to get rid of these people and take the land. These fires were set intentionally. And then coincidentally help was delayed to put them out.
Don’t allow foreign investors to buy it. End of problem. In fact maybe in this case don’t allow investors to buy it period.
“How does this not violate the interstate commerce clause?”
I don’t know. The very fact that you asked that question indicates that you know more about the commerce clause than I do.
The cane fields on maui down on the flat land were tore out years ago,, vegetables are grown there now.
