Lahaina Maui Fire Recovery Update Video, Building Tiny Homesteads and Houses for Fire Victims

[@theremnant2967]

Mahalo brother, you, Samantha, Eric West, Dave Hodges, Traci and many others who all have your KZbin platforms are doing your best to inform, inspire, invest, unite, people all over the world who love Maui, the Hawaiian Islands, and the native Hawaiian island people. To switch from tourism to agriculture is gonna be a complete overhaul of the mindset of generations of native Hawaiian thinking. Not impossible but it would have to be united by all natives/ non- natives to switch from service industry to agricultural industries. You are talking over 100 years of service by the indigenous native locals in tourism transitioning into agriculture. A whole new paradigm. Not just for the indigenous native Hawaiian people but also for the island and the water and the resources of the island. Maybe after the change of the new Hawaiian kingdom is re-established on 10/26/2024 when a new king is appointed? 80% of Maui's economy is based on tourism as of Sept 22 2023. 3 million tourists 2020-2023@ $5.4 billion. All the Hawaiian Islands the Total GDP from tourism is 21% . the gross annual GDP for all the Hawaiian Islands was $99 billion as of ist quarter 2023 .( 2012 was $130.2) Lots to think about moving forward. Prayers for all the survivors of Lahaina, Maui. Aloha. The Remnant November 19th 2023

I wanted to check in after several weeks to see how you are doing. I still admire your plans and your vision going forward about returning Maui to the residents and emphasizing *their* sovereignty over a return to just the same-old, same-old, tourist industry... It's time to start thinking outside of that paradigm and return the precious jewel that it is to the people... I signed up for a monthly donation on your website. It's not much, but I want to help. God bless you all... And subscribed ❤

This is so good to see. I thank you greatly for being a force for good & hope in Maui. I admire your compassion & determination to assist displaced victims.

[@GIT2WORK747]

I just left Maui yesterday. While I was there I spent around $10,000.00. Business was down everywhere. The people were delighted to get the business. I was amazed at how little is being done in the areas that burned. I’d of thought hundreds of construction workers and heavy equipment would be starting to rebuild. All there is is 5 sheriff’s deputies sitting in their cars keeping watch over the burned town. The only real work that can be seen is the makeshift walls they built along the affected areas. It’s not only Lahaina that was affected. There is another whole area on the road to the National park that the wind took down thousands of huge trees totally taking out power lines. Numerous houses are burned to the ground there as well. No one is doing anything about it for the most part. A utility crew here and there but no rebuilding. The radio stations are full of advertisements from law firms hoping to get people to file lawsuits. You can easily see where the fire started and how it crossed the highway and burned all the way to the beach. I don’t really see a way for a place like this to be self sufficient without tourists. Seems like an awful lot of the working age adult males are busy surfing and hanging at the beach instead of helping rebuild. In 7 days I literally saw no one doing anything productive. I’m sure someone was just not sure where. Tons of land everywhere could be better utilized.

[@Cherrysmith2809]

I live on Maui. The burn zone was a vast recovery site until recently. It is toxic. They are letting the residents go in now, in protective gear provided and recommended, because the residents obviously want to see their places, and sift through the ashes. You can imagine the turmoil if they just let everyone and anyone go in all at once. As soon as the residents have closure, FEMA will begin clearing the land of toxins. FEMA is taking applications from residents for free certification so they can hire locals to help with the clean up. After that, infrastructure goes in. It is a slow and costly process. The electric company linesman have been working hard. Sometimes supplies are an issue on an island. For government agencies, it is all hands on deck, coordinating hundreds of things. Please don’t badmouth the efforts. It may look on the surface like nothing is happening to a visitor, but plenty is happening, including the great initiative of this man.

[@davewil3]

If this was Florida, there would be hundreds of construction workers rebuilding. But this is Hawaii where people have been told it is going to take a year to clear the ash and two years before they can expect to START to rebuild. And Hawaii government thinks that is moving at record speed.

[@maidintheusa9602]

All wh¡le they continue to make their m⊙rtgage payments and pay property taxes and have n○where to live.

[@Cherrysmith2809]

@@davewil3 Maybe so, but Maui has a population of less than 150,000 in a remote area of the planet, and the scope of urban destruction from fire is different than from that of a hurricane. Hurricanes don’t produce toxic ash and destroy all the plumbing, and don’t typically, in Florida, displace an entire town.

[@GIT2WORK747]

Going to take 10 years to clear the ash at the rate they are moving. If everything I owned disappeared in 10 minutes I reckon it’d be hard to rebuild anything if everything I owned was gone. Property taxes,mortgages and other financial obligations need to be put on hold with no penalties. Huge groups of volunteers with free building materials and unlimited food ,water dnd temporary shelter is what’s needed. Let Ukraine and Israel take care of their self inflicted problems themselves. As Americans we all should focus on Americans and America first.

Can’t support tourism till things are rebuilt. I think he means temporarily. Its amazing when grass roots local efforts can make such a difference. If my whole community burned down, and many of the people I knew were perished or displaced, it might take me a while to get back to rebuilding. Navigating insurance, destroyed infrastructure, procuring building supplies and just finding a builder are all obstacles even in a community with a wider supply base.

Tiny Tin Homes Are Definitely A No-No

[@GIT2WORK747]

I was wondering the same thing. Didn’t see any fishing boats so I’m guessing you ain’t making a living doing that. There are some pretty high end homes around Maui so I’m guessing there is some pretty skilled help. Here in Oregon they’ve been throwing up subdivisions bigger than The whole town of Lahaina literally overnight. It’s amazing how fast the land out here is being built out. Thousands of homes everywhere that 6 months ago were farm fields. Maybe there just isn’t supplies in Maui? Definitely things move at a slower pace around there.

[@CanTho2022]

“Hawaii Real Estate” KZbin just interviewed a couple who lost EVERYTHING. He is a construction contractor and he said both Electrical & Water INFRASTRUCTURE need to be rebuilt.

[@carleetodd4324]

Underrated comment. I glanced at the heading on this vid and instantly thought about the government plans they announced for rebuilding just before the massacre. Green, sustainable, equitable... This is temporary housing, we don't need to reinvent the wheel. They wanna put 6 people in one of these milk cartons! "Not 'tiny houses'. 'Tiny households'. 🤨 I think the guy in this vid probably really does care, but he's not the problem, nor are tiny houses, in and of themselves. This is a problem because these containers are highly problematic and costly to develop. Many are toxic and have to be thoroughly cleaned, the welding is not practical, the metal is poor for storms & insulation... I just don't see this being where the solution is at. There's a comp in the continental US that's offered to give Lahaina box homes (sorry I can't think of the business name) that they have prefabbed. Idk why we don't just use those. Plus, if it's supposed to be sustainable, why weren't other builders on the island prior to the fire made to conform to the same building standards? It's all so fishy. They're not considering the islander's quality of life & even their bare minimum, once again. It's aggravating to witness. My heart goes out to our island brothers and sisters. 🙏

It’s really disturbing how some of these goofballs actually believe this place was targeted by lasers from outer space. Maui is nice. I agree 100%. Nice enough for someone to purposely burn the entire place down? Killing countless people? Nobody is signing off on that shit . Sure people are going to be in there buying out anyone who can’t afford to rebuild. Most of the houses I see that aren’t burnt aren’t all that nice. Pretty much like all ocean communities. Old homes with crap strewn around the yard occupied by lazy beach bum types. Only the beachfront gated homes are of any value. The big corporate hotels and rich beachfront people hire everyone across the street and beyond for minimum wages. The locals become slaves to the elites who sit beachfront while those across the street can’t even access the beach. Same story different city.
