More than 30 killed in Maui as wildfire wipes town of Lahaina off the map ... the videos of the devastation are unreal

I was wondering about that.

I can completely accept that the local government there is corrupt and decided to have a city burn down, not send out warnings, cut the water, and block the town exits trapping them, all to promote the global warming narrative and get the land for cheap for a "smart" city.

But I couldn't figure out for the life of me how the travel to Hawaii thing fit into anything. :unsure:
 


TL;DW - The governor of Hawaii passed a proclamation in June to create "emergency housing" which bypasses all other laws regarding zoning, including in areas which have been declared to be historic districts and therefore off limits. Everything relevant is in the first few minutes and the rest of it seems to be recruiting to form an activist group, asking for funding, and asking rhetorical questions about the lack of response from any government entity.

It's an interesting coincidence, basically, and adds a bit of fuel to the theory that these fires were intentionally set.

Seems like another very obvious and recurring in previous wildfire cases factor has come up...
leftists, greens, forest management, fuel management... The usual stuff, previously demonstrated, as the author mentions, in the Colorado wildfires.

My Experience in Colorado Taught Me How to Prevent Maui-Style Wildfires

My experience with forest management in Colorado taught me how to mitigate Maui-style wildfires and how climate alarmism got in the way.

If anyone doesn't know, the green retards and in turn their party of choice are rather leaning towards absolute human non-interference in wildlands, which yes, includes such uncool concepts as... making sure there is no shitload of fuel lying around for a big and fast wildfire in case one would happen. Why spend efforts and money doing actual forest management and arguing with some retarded hippy who thinks it's colonialist or offends Gaia, while you can just do nothing, virtue signal about green energy, and if someone notices those wildfires are worse than ever, you can in fact get the green retard to cheer for you by blaming it on climate change. In other parts of the world it would be called malicious negligence, but in the deep blue land, that's apparently just the new normal.
Money quotes:
Climate activists and Chicken Little alarmists don't like to admit it, but productive industries often help slow the spread of flammable grasses. As Elise McCue wrote for The Daily Signal, the disappearance of Hawaii's sugar cane and other agriculture industries has enabled these grasses to spread.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the plan presented clear measures to protect Lahaina from fire, including "thinning vegetation near populated areas, improving wildlife-response capabilities, and working with landowners and utilities to help reduce fire risk on their property."


Those recommendations sound very familiar to me. After all, I spent my summers "thinning vegetation near populated areas," and my Eagle Scout project involved wildland fire mitigation around a combustible public utility.


Yet local officials never implemented the Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization's plan.

In 2019, Hawaiian Electric identified an urgent need to upgrade its infrastructure and manage vegetation to reduce the possibility that its equipment could spark a fire. It proposed spending $190 million to do so last June.

State regulators bogged down the proposal in red tape and reviews, however.

Hawaii governor calls for vacation rentals to be converted to homes

Hawaii Governor Josh Green said there were 6,297 residents still living in hotels more than four months after the deadly wildfire swept Maui. He is asking rental properties be turned in to homes.

  • Hawaii Governor Josh Green said he wants 3,000 vacation rentals converted to long-term housing
  • He said there were 6,297 residents still living in hotels more than four months after the historic wildfire that killed at least 97 people in Maui
  • According to Green there are currently between 12,000 to 14,000 units legally rented on a short-term basis
Hawaii Governor Josh Green said he wants 3,000 vacation rentals converted to long-term housing for displaced wildfire survivors who are currently still living in hotels, four months after the horrific blaze swept Maui.

Green said he is prepared to use the 'hammer' of post-fire emergency orders to make sure owners of short-term vacation rentals extend them to long-term units if enough spaces aren't converted voluntarily by mid-January.

As of Thursday, the governor said there were 6,297 residents still living in hotels more than four months after the August 8 wildfire wiped out historic Lahaina and killed at least 97 people - the deadliest wildfire in modern US history.

The vast majority of residents don't have anywhere else to go given the extreme housing shortage on Maui. There are currently between 12,000 to 14,000 units legally rented on a short-term basis on Maui, according to Green. Including illegal ones, he estimated there could be nearly 25,000.

The lack of stable housing has been a source of stress for Lahaina residents, some of whom have had to switch hotel rooms multiple times since the fire. One group is camping out on Kaanapali Beach in front of resort hotels, vowing to stay there until short-term rentals are converted for the use of residents.

The blaze that swept into centuries-old Lahaina destroyed nearly every building in the town of 13,000.

Around 86 percent of the roughly 2,200 ruined buildings were residential and the value of wrecked property has been estimated at more than $5 billion.

Green said a combination of county tax incentives and generous rent subsidies offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency should help.

FEMA on Monday sent letters to 13,000 short-term rental operators across Maui informing them the agency would offer to pay them the same rent they earned during the previous year for their units, Green said.

In addition, the Maui County Council is currently considering legislation for property tax breaks promoted by the mayor.

'So there is no reason at all for people not to take this opportunity provided they want to be a helpful part of the solution,' Green said.

Green said he aims for these measures to provide interim housing for two years while more housing is built on Maui.

'So we really only need to get about 10 percent, maybe 12 percent, of all the available short term units on Maui,' he said.

Ideally, officials could rent out an entire building or an entire timeshare property, he said.

FEMA will pay for units rented to about 2,000 families. The state of Hawaii and private philanthropists will cover rent for the remaining 1,000 families who are undocumented or are citizens from so-called Compact of Free Association states and who aren't eligible for FEMA aid, Green said.

He didn't have an estimate for how much this would cost, saying it would depend on how many rentals become available.

The governor plans to release details of his new budget proposals at a news conference on Monday.

On December 11, the heart of Lahaina reopened to residents and business holding day passes. Although authorities are recommending that people entering scorched lots wear protective gear to shield them from hazards.

Slippery Slope any time government interferes for "PUBLIC GOOD'.

Government trying to confiscate farmers land in Netherlands & EU.

NY - veterans could not get hotel room since these were leased to illegal aliens.

This is why I laugh at anyone who insists that the slippery slope is a fallacy.
 


6 months after the devastating sinister fires ripped through the Island the town still looks like a bomb site.

Residents unable to rebuild, moved from hotel to hotel, insurance firms not paid out.

Mainstream media blackout still, children still missing, the events here are more than suspicious at best.

How long until Blackrock funded NGO's start taking over?

Remember when Hawaii burned down, kids were burned alive, Biden responded by giving each family $700, and there's still no answers?

Well now the Governor of Hawaii is blaming landlords for the aftermath of the fire and suggests they need to sell their property to Hawaii residents who were impacted.

Biden is housing and feeding millions of illegals on the taxpayer dime but it's capitalism's fault that Hawaii residents are still struggling. Why can't Biden do something to help Hawaiins?

Does anyone else find it alarming that a Governor is telling homeowners to give up their homes?

No warnings whatsoever.
Anomalies with reported wind directions that don't scientifically add up.
Tourists evacuated by bus, locals locked in and told
they can't get back in if they leave.
School was canceled. Children were home while parents worked.
Hundreds of children burned alive. Can't be identified.
A perfect circle of fire around Lähainä.
Molten metal next to intact trees.
Media reporting FRACTIONS of real numbers.
NEW insurance policies taken out on Lahaina before the fires.
WHO OWNS LÄHAINÄ BESIDES THE HAWAIIANS? The ocean front
property? The government.
Wild how all this new uninhabitable land that only big developers can
afford to clean up opened up for the plans of turning Maui into a smart
island with billionaire funding.
How many do you need?
It goes on and on and on.
