The median home price in Maui is just over $1M long before the fire. Pretty sure the Affluent have been there for a long time...

We need to have a discussion about the massive monopoly that has been created by institutional investors like Blackrock. Using *our* 401k money they buy up stocks & then get their reps into the Board of Dir. at Disney, Norfolk Southern, etc. They set the agenda, prices, etc. /1
