Realtors and real estate industry professionals are contacting people who have lost everything in order to buy their land. This behavior is seen as disgusting and a land grab by the community. The concern is that Lahaina may lose its spirit and become a tourist destination during the rebuilding process. The community plans to protect the rich cultural history of Lahaina and ensure that multi-generational families can return home.

We're addressing various issues, including land use concerns in Hawaii. I spoke with Governor Josh Green about speculators purchasing properties. Our legal teams are actively working on solutions, and we plan to present these in just a few days.

We worked hard, but received no help. Our phones didn't work from 5 in the morning. When we went to work at 10 o'clock, the fire was still raging and there was no water. It's not a coincidence. There was no warning and everyone was talking about Lahaina becoming the first satellite city before the fire. Jeff Bezos, Oprah, and the owner of the knot got what they wanted.

Governor Josh Green signed an emergency proclamation for housing in Hawaii, stating that the land and housing costs have become too expensive for locals. This proclamation suspends previous building laws and appoints a state lead housing officer to promote the development of housing on brownfield sites. Brownfield sites are properties with hazardous substances that need redevelopment. It is interesting to note that the EPA's Brownfields event coincided with the fires in Maui. Some Maui residents have expressed concerns about land grabs and feeling excluded from the rebuilding process.

The speaker expresses concern about the heavy situation and requests soil samples to be taken. They accuse the state of wanting the land and using natural disasters as an excuse to take it. Another speaker emphasizes the impact on people and questions the classification of the event as a natural disaster. They mention the connection to Lahaina and express their opposition to AI control and smart cities. They believe the incident was a planned attack and criticize the use of the term "conspiracy theorist." The speaker calls for unity and fighting for people's rights. The meeting moderator interrupts, but the speaker dismisses their agenda. The video ends abruptly.

The speaker attended a meeting with the governor and developers. They expressed frustration that the developers were focused on bypassing the permit process to build homes in Lahaina, without considering the needs of the people. The speaker felt that the developers were more interested in exploiting natural resources and fast-tracking Westernized development, disregarding the local culture and environment. They acknowledged that this would be a challenging obstacle to overcome in the recovery process.

Developers in a meeting with the governor discussed building homes in Lahaina without going through the permit process. However, their focus seemed to be on fast-tracking development and disregarding the needs of the people. There was no mention of the community or preserving the local culture. This poses a challenge in our recovery journey.

I've witnessed people losing their homes due to various emergencies like fire, flood, and motor accidents. However, I want to bring attention to something bigger. Being in Maui for the past 9 years, I understand the geography and how things work here. It's hard for me to believe that a hurricane could miss the Big Island and hit Maui without causing flooding, but instead causing fires. These fires occurred in the most valuable areas of Maui, such as Lahaina front street, which is worth billions. The locals, especially the Hawaiians and Kanaka, have been resisting selling their properties to big companies for years. It's not a coincidence that the fires targeted these areas, including Oprah Winfrey's view in Kula. The Hawaiians and Kanaka stood strong along front street.

The speaker expresses concern about people taking advantage of the situation in Maui after a disaster. They mention that instead of being able to grieve and process what's happening, the people of Maui have to deal with others trying to buy their land. They call out investors and realtors for contacting families who have lost their homes and offer to buy their land. They urge victims to get the names of these individuals and businesses so they can be exposed. Another speaker emphasizes the need to prevent corporate entities from buying up land in Maui and urges state leaders to create policies to protect the local community. They stress the importance of keeping locals in the area and preventing further displacement.

Developers in a meeting with the governor discussed building homes in Lahaina without going through the permit process. However, their focus seemed to be on fast-tracking development rather than helping the people. The conversation revolved around getting rid of permits to take water from streams and prioritize Westernization over preserving the culture and place. This poses a challenge in the long road to recovery.

Years of planning have led to the destruction of our town, leaving the poor, hardworking people and elders with nothing. We demand a logical explanation for why our homes are gone. A family was forced to evacuate, but the manager heartlessly denied them a moment to gather their belongings because their house had ash in it. The system and the governor have imposed rules without consulting those on the ground, making it even harder for people to coordinate hospital visits. Lahaina should have the power to determine its own fate.

I have witnessed people losing their homes due to various emergencies like fire, flood, and motor accidents. However, I want to bring attention to something bigger. In the past 9 years that I have been on Maui, I have noticed a pattern. It seems unlikely that a hurricane would miss the Big Island and directly hit Maui, causing fires instead of floods. These fires have affected the most valuable areas of real estate on Maui, such as Lahaina front street, which is worth billions. The locals, particularly the Hawaiians and Kanaka, have been resisting selling their properties to large companies for years. It is not a coincidence that the fires occurred in these precious areas where the Hawaiians and Kanaka were holding out, including Oprah Winfrey's property in Kula.

Governor Green planned to acquire the land in Lahaina by removing protections and declaring an emergency prior to a fire. He aimed to build on the land despite it being declared a historical site. It is believed that he is implementing the United Nations agenda 2030. The governor's office released a news article confirming this. The locals claim that the government assumed the structures would be destroyed and proposed a housing project on the land. The state of Hawaii limits communication in the area and controls what people hear and see. It is important for individuals to take action and be the change they want to see.

Vice Governor Josh Green stated that building in Lahaina will be postponed due to global warming concerns, including sea level rise. Future permits will take these factors into consideration. Efforts will be made to compensate those already living near the water. Property owners will have the choice to build or sell, but the community will determine the allocation of space for housing, memorials, and open areas. The emergency proclamation for housing may not expedite construction as expected. The speaker questions the inconsistency of allowing oceanfront hotels to renovate while expressing concern about rising sea levels. Share your thoughts on this matter below.

Last week, I appointed Bob Fenton, a top emergency manager, to lead the long-term recovery efforts on Maui. He has been on the ground since before the fires started and will ensure that the community receives all the support the federal government can provide to heal and rebuild quickly. I will receive a virtual report from him on Maui after this meeting. Our goal is to restore the island to its previous state, but even better.

The speaker, Weline Christian, expresses concern for the people affected by the fire in Lahaina, Maui. They criticize the lack of action from authorities and the focus on money rather than the well-being of the community. They suggest bringing in lumber and allowing construction workers to rebuild homes, emphasizing the importance of supporting the people directly. They also call for meetings to be held in Maui and urge officials to listen to the ideas and needs of the affected individuals. The speaker emphasizes the importance of community support and urges officials to take responsibility and prioritize the people's needs.

The speaker discusses the failures and possible prevention measures regarding a tragic event. They mention that locals have been discussing the issue and believe that a warning could have been given. The speaker also mentions that all the children were sent home from school due to a wind advisory, and it was later discovered that an entire neighborhood of children had been lost. The Lahaina Luna housing area was specifically mentioned, and a coworker shared that all of their friends in that neighborhood had tragically passed away.

I'm considering ways for the state to obtain the land in Lahaina to use it for workforce housing, return it to families, or preserve it as open spaces forever as a memorial. We want to ensure that we remember this place even after the pain has subsided.

I am committed to ensuring that children have clean air, access to swimming pools with lifeguards who can teach them how to swim, and engaging activities. Although I am unsure about our plans for the next few months, I will reach out to universities and other organizations for assistance. The governor mentioned considering alternative locations, but did not provide specific details.

We're organizing a Marshall Plan to rebuild California, focusing on inclusivity for all affected communities. Discussions are underway with city leaders, civic leaders, business leaders, nonprofits, and labor leaders to coordinate recovery efforts. We're exploring philanthropy for recovery, seeking federal assistance for both the Olympics and rebuilding efforts, and galvanizing community support. Our goal is to efficiently address the scale of this tragedy through streamlined project delivery, improved building codes, and permitting processes. This approach aims to ensure resilience in our rebuilding efforts.

We faced a difficult situation where our phones didn't work and there was no water during the fire. Some believe this was not a coincidence, as there were discussions about Lahaina becoming the first satellite city. It seems like certain individuals, such as Jeff Bezos, Oprah, and the owner of something, got what they wanted at our expense. We desperately need help in Lahaina, but so far, we have only received $700 and don't know who to contact. It's important to note that the situation is culturally insensitive in that area.

I'm considering ways for the state to acquire the land for workforce housing, families, or as open spaces in memory of those who were lost. We want to ensure that this remains a lasting memory even after the pain has subsided.

The speaker, Raylene from Maui, shares some local updates. The government of Hawaii aims to rebuild and make Maui the first smart island, governed by AI. They plan to host the Hawaii Digital Government Summit in September 2023. There was a smart city conference in January 2023 to turn Maui into a smart city island. A high-rise condo complex and businesses in Lahaina were demolished and need to be rebuilt. Raylene and others are trying to find places to volunteer and help those in need. The War Memorial Shelter, now taken over by FEMA, is not distributing supplies to people in need. Donations, especially diapers, wipes, and formula, are being hoarded by Red Cross and FEMA. Raylene suggests shipping items from Amazon.

Let's prioritize our mental and physical health before we begin the journey of rebuilding our communities. Our goal is to restore these areas and improve them beyond their previous state. It's essential to focus on well-being as we move forward in this recovery process.
