Check your favorite resource for news for updates. Heartbreaking loss to the state and native communities. Horrifying the amount of damage from these fires~ Lahaina is unrecognizable~ Perhaps an opportunity for the indigenous to reclaim and bring the future of the island back to their own vision~ Edited August 12, 2023 by Tygerscent Becket, thomas and Marc in Calif 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of money required just to rebuild housing will be huge, and my fear is that private investment into the community will come from deep pockets with strings. The banyan still stands, and Aloha must prevail. + azdr0710, mike carey and + bashful 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
