My sister’s house so far has not burned down, or been covered in Lava. Trouble is, without doing so, she can’t get any insurance for the loss of her home.
The locals lived very nice in Leilani! The lots were cheap and they took a very well known risk in building there. Very sad to see this area lost, as it made ANY other place I’ve been in the Hawaiian Islands look boring in comparison. Even with mostly left wing types in the community, I truly loved it there. In just 5 years I was there about 8 times.
We’ll keep your sis in our prayers. And while locals took a knowing risk, I’m furious at the government and/or lenders for enabling this.
