  1. Yes he vows to build the new wef smart city… perfect timing cuz the ground is already leveled for the developers

  2. Are they really going to rebuild on a site that contains the unidentifiable remains of over 850 human beings? It's a burial site, just the same as a battlefield.

  3. children sent home early from school and were alone

  4. build back better right?

  5. I would like to believe this happened because of incompetence. But it's much darker than that. Blackrock land grab.

  6. Maybe Hawaiians in Maui should fly the Ukrainian flag and they’d get billions of dollars in aid just like that

  7. Biden fails Americans AGAIN…..

  8. Lahaina is now a burial site, the government has no authority over the rebuilding of some areas, Article XVY of the American Declaration of Rights for Indigenous People, No indigenous people or individual shall be subjected to pressures or impositions, or any other type of coercive measures that might impair or limit their right

    freely to exercise their indigenous spirituality and

    beliefs.

    3. Indigenous peoples have the right to preserve,

    protect, and access their sacred sites, including their

    burial grounds, to use and control their sacred objects

    and relics, and to recover their human remains.

    4. States, in conjunction with indigenous peoples, shall

    adopt effective measures, to promote respect for

    indigenous spirituality and beliefs, and to protect

    the integrity of the symbols, practices, ceremonies,

    expressions, and spiritual protocols of indigenous

    peoples, in accordance with international law.

  9. Remember native trees along the road sides Remember homes need to be made of rock or concrete mybe lava rock anything that wont burn.
    If you build out of wood again with the insain prices of wood today when rock is literally cheaper then i know your not for the people just the money you must build the right way.
    Also let there be more soil in your cities because it will allow native plants and flowers to grow and reduce flooding heat and can add colors but most importantly will make people more happy and healthy.

  10. All around America, incompetence is rampant

  11. Maybe the governor should first focus on the 1,000 people still unaccounted for.

  12. remember when you ge rebuilding your city. the tax value of a property placed in ideal location is very high. you'll be paying large taxes on the new re-evaluated property based on the new city that will be built there. property taxes on a vacant lot that the government wants could actually be more than what you had before when there was a business and a home

  13. don't worry after we've burned it all down we will build back better for the party members. the billionaire's will be buying lots of land so that they can get rid of the eyesores in front of their house. we will build back better for the party. remember this is Utopia and we're not supposed to massacre the natives and poor

  14. That will take many yrs to build what was taken. You just can't build nature and beauty.

  15. God blessed hawaii peoples

  16. Why did they say "and still hundreds missing"? Thats minimizing the factual number of 1300 still unaccounted for! A little above 100 dead is a very low number. After the first day the count rose significantly and now its just stagnent of just a few numbers rising every other day. Theres no way! Where are all the other 1000+ missing people? Why are news channels now saying "and still hundreds missing"?

  17. Hawaii's democrats needs to step down and rebuild

  18. Well…Chinese Military Satellites created 1600 degree molten metal and now the Democrats Party buying up Maui at Vegas prices. Very ‘COVIDesque’.

  19. Oh, he will rebuild alright. His way. What a creep.

  20. Oprah and many others will steal the land and build hotels iand mansions

  21. Maybe this time rebuild it so it's NOT a tinderbox waiting to be obliterated? Lahaina was a death trap.

  22. Biggest land grab ever

  23. Biggest land grab ever

  24. Of course they are going to rebuild. LOL!!! You people actually elected this dude? WOW!!!!

  25. The governor needs to be charged so do Maui officials

  26. P people of Lahaina Maui do not sell your property the City Planning Department of Maui have documents who owns what why because you pay taxes on your property CD have Records who owns what keep it for your children they'll never be able to buy a home outrageous prices

  27. The malfeasance of some of the leadership in this Maui tragedy needs to be investigated and corrected
