I would be pretty pissed as a business owner on Maui who isn’t affected by the fire. Maui officials aren’t going to bail the affected business out, and will just say get a SBA loan. But the name of the game is debt; so just let the entirety of Maui keep on going into debt. The winners are FHB and BOH, and the common folks are the losers again.
Matter time before rest of Maui gets bought out.
Throw it into the big pile of bad decisions made by Hawaii politicians.
This is obviously way worse than the pandemic of which I finally had to leave after loosing a large amount. When I left they predicted years before things would be normal and look at how quick it came back. Lahaina will be rebuilt, and it just might work out for them. Will of course be different, and for those of us familiar it will never be the same, but it will come back. Hawaii politics are what they are, but demand will help at some point. I don’t think the outlet stores will come back though.
