The sad thing is, it will be wall-to-wall 23-story condos now, no stopping anyone from convincing some property owner of a one-story shopping block from pocketing his insurance AND taking the millon from a Chinese developer. It will only take one and the rest will follow.
I saw someone on television who was doing a fundraiser to help raise money for disaster relief. She used to live on Maui. She said they want to keep Hawaiian lands in Hawaiian hands.
Apparently there was already talk about what’s going to happen with rebuilding on that island ,and who is going to do that rebuilding, and what they’re going to build there.
I suspect if the money is Right, some of the owners of the land May well just want to sell out , pocket the money and let developers, Chinese or otherwise ,do what they want to do there.
