Economists in Hawaii warn that residents who survived the wildfire that destroyed much of the Maui community of Lahaina might not be able to afford to live there after it is rebuilt unless officials alter the zoning laws and make other changes.

    In illegally occupied Hawaii, the goal has always been genocide of the indigenous. The UN needs to kick the USA out of Hawaii.

        How’s this dumb? They’re correct. The US is illegally occupying Hawaii and persecutes the indigenous to that end.

        I get the feeling you just like licking imperialists’ boots.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    HONOLULU (AP) — Residents who survived the wildfire that leveled the Hawaii town of Lahaina might not be able to afford to live there after it is rebuilt unless officials alter the zoning laws and make other changes, economists warned Friday.

    Soaring housing prices have already forced many Native Hawaiians and other longtime Hawaii residents to leave the islands and move to the U.S. mainland.

    The wildfire that claimed at least 97 lives and destroyed 2,200 buildings in the West Maui community of Lahaina — 86% of which were residential — amplifies that problem for the survivors.

    A spike in housing costs would be a further burden for people — including retirees and those who worked in restaurants, hotels and shops — who lost their homes and jobs when their places of employment burned to the ground on Aug. 8, or when West Maui temporarily closed to tourism after the disaster.

    At a news conference on Thursday at the state Capitol, Green stressed that the displaced survivors won’t be forced out of hotels to make room for tourists, with October typically being a slow month for tourism.

    “Outsiders should not have the opportunity to grab land or properties because emotions are running high, so everyone is vulnerable,” Melody Lukela-Singh, whose home on Lahaina’s renowned Front Street burned, said recently.

    This is something to keep an eye on from this disaster. I hope some good policy and solutions get put in place to get proper housing back in place for the working locals.

    Did they not have insurance? Shouldn’t they have ample money to rebuild? I don’t understand.

          Your questions didn’t upset me; they’re answered plainly in the article you’re responding to.

          The issue isn’t people who own the property not being able to rebuild, the issue is people who were renting there likely being unable to afford to rent there after it’s rebuilt, because the prices were previously low due to the age of the buildings, and it’s almost entirely not zoned for multi-family dwellings.

          If you aren’t even going to read the article you’re talking about, how are we supposed to interpret your questions, if not as being stupid?
