Black fencing erected in Lahaina, Maui, in August 2023 to block the public’s view of ground zero of the Hawaiian fires (Video screenshot)
===============================================================================
The fire that destroyed Lahaina on the island of Maui in the state of Hawaii was almost a year ago and yet residents of the community are still struggling to rebuild.
While Biden and congress rush to pass more spending for Ukraine on a regular basis, American citizens in Hawaii are still dealing with this. When was the last time you heard anyone in government even talk about Lahaina?
The Twitter/X post below reads:
UPDATE On The Lahaina Maui Fire Victims
NEW: “Aloha from Lahaina, Maui. June 22nd update. As you can see, you still can’t get into Lahaina. Access is still restricted. Nobody’s rebuilding yet still 10 months into the fires”
“To get a building permit, you have to go to the county. They now have a review board. You have to fill out this this paperwork. It’s just endless, and it takes forever. It’s a building permit process review board. Just everything’s just being slowed down and dragging on, and you wonder why.
And, um, so the army of engineers have said they cleaned out 1200 lots, residential lots of debris, ashes, toxic.
I don’t know what I still don’t know. I’m not an expert. What’s toxic?
They’re now slowly doing commercial lots. Like, 40 commercial lots have been cleared. They said they cleaned out 2,000 burned vehicles. I think it’s all moving slow, but, you know, people say, well, here, we’re on an island. But, anyway, you have to wonder why…
Crazy. So these are the little tiny container homes in Kahului for fire victims, but, you know, so many people have left the island. They’ve given up. It’s sad.“

VIDEO AT LINK..........................
Have these people been forgotten and abandoned? Why are they not getting more attention and help from our leaders in DC?
Isn’t the plan to set it aside as a reserve for the elites? Maybe allow some construction for housing the cooks, cleaners, and security.
Developers of resorts and condominiums are salivating............................
Trump should go have a round table there with Tulsi.
You wonder is BlackRock and/or Blackstone willing to cut a check of US$25 billion to buy out everyone there first.
Why are we letting this crisis go to waste? It’s because the state is hopelessly blue. Call for the restoration of the monarchy. That will raise eyebrows.
Next call for native Hawaiians to move back there from the CONUS and give them all the spare lands as well as veto power over the haloes. Call for putting the state back to protectorate status and get rid of 2 senators. Would it turn red? No but it starts with disturbing the excrement. What has the GOP got to lose?
Tourists will still go there. Hawaiians keep the money.
they will just stall the process for years if necessary and wait until the people are desperate and will sell for pennies on the dollar................
A year?? Get used to it people!
Almost 4 years since my senior CITIZENS community burned out by BLM/Antifa.
All I get is constant phone tag by NGOs who have absolutely no intention of helping any of us!
I got a letter this week of the government bragging about the brand new homes, $200,000 each, bought for immigrants and welfare bums. These people rented, never owned a home!
One FEMA sponsored NGO, Access, ordered hundred of mobile homes that we waited 3 years to purchase, to tell us, NO... they ordered in Idaho and didn’t meet Oregon specs! I bet taxpayers paid for them!
It’s all a sick joke and be careful! They will harrass and confuse you when you are homeless and sick and terrified instead of getting financial aid, they give you a loan and tell you 3 years later it’s a loan not a grant. So it costs me another $10,000 interest. I paid off the “loan” but they are still taking my social security checks.
Do you understand? I have to pay the Biden regime$10,000 out of my pocket for the privilege of being burned out and losing everything I ever had over a government sponsored act of terrorism!
Once they grab into you, they NEVER let go and The only help is for aliens and those who never gave anything to this society.

August 8th will be here soon it should be remembered.
Who else could afford building back to ‘Code’? You can see many were grandfathered for sure! Sorry for the residents but that’s ‘Progress’
The people of Lahiaina are most likely not going to budge. Hence the US$25 billion buyout cost.
They’re getting ready for the next riot by removing all of some communities fire hydrants up Washington state.
Here’s the deal I would make:
You want my property to build a luxury high rise condominium, then you give me one of them, free and clear, and rent me a nice place until it’s finished.
Surprised the big resorts haven’t moved in to buy up the land - to start rebuilding immediately given the tax revenue tourist bring in.
We are planning a trip to Hawaii later in the year, love Maui and usually travel there, this year we’ll be going to Oahu instead.
They are.......................
Did they find the remains of all those missing children?
Twilight zone!!!!
