This is a legitimate concern, and would align with a historical trend of vulture capitalism overpowering the rights and values of native Hawaiians. The fire sends a message to reclaim the heart of Hawaii, not to crush it further. Be blessed, Hawaii. And stand strong.

Sure, bless them. Thoughts and prayers. You are the annoying hippie that accomplishes nothing that Eric Cartman warned us about 20 years ago.

I agree,this is a legitimate concern.Vulture capitalism has had a devastating impact on native Hawaiians for generations. The fire is a wake-up call that we need to protect our islands and our people from further exploitation.#vulturecapitalism #nativehawaiians #protectourislands

This is disgusting. Families just lost their homes, many lost loved ones, and some investers have the audacity to call these families and offer to buy the last thing they have to their name??#LahainaFires #Hawaii #MauiFires #maui #Hawaiifire

NOLA after hurricane Katrina another example of post disaster gentrification and displacement of native or generational residents. It's humane nature at its very worst.

Yes ... Gentrification ... Maui could loose all it's indigenous people!
