Sorry Hawaii - Senile Biden hates you

Imagine anyone being so ill informed that they think being able to apply for loans from FEMA - that you may get after fighting with FEMA for months or years - makes all those who lost their homes perfectly fine now

Then again, I can't imagine anyone laughing at the plight of these people like we saw earlier in this thread

Meanwhile back in the real world, Maui residents worry a rebuilt Lahaina could slip into the hands of wealthy outsiders (including big Democrat donors)

A fast-moving wildfire that incinerated much of the compact coastal settlement last week has multiplied concerns that any homes rebuilt there will be targeted at affluent outsiders seeking a tropical haven. That would turbo-charge what is already one of Hawaii’s gravest and biggest challenges: the exodus and displacement of Native Hawaiian and local-born residents who can no longer afford to live in their homeland.

“I’m more concerned of big land developers coming in and seeing this charred land as an opportunity to rebuild,” Palalay said Saturday at a shelter for evacuees.

Hotels and condos “that we can’t afford, that we can’t afford to live in — that’s what we’re afraid of,” he said.

The blaze torched Palalay’s restaurant, his neighborhood, his friends’ homes and possibly even the four-bedroom house where he pays $1,000 monthly to rent one room. He and his housemates haven’t had an opportunity to return to examine it themselves, though they’ve seen images showing their neighborhood in ruins.

The median price of a Maui home is $1.2 million, putting a single-family home out of reach for the typical wage earner. It’s not possible for many to even buy a condo, with the median condo price at $850,000.

Sterling Higa, the executive director of Housing Hawaii’s Future, a nonprofit organization that advocates for more housing in Hawaii, said the town is host to many houses that have been in the hands of local families for generations. But it’s also been subject to gentrification.

“So a lot of more recent arrivals — typically from the American mainland who have more money and can buy homes at a higher price — were to some extent displacing local families in Lahaina,” Higa said. It’s a phenomenon he has seen all along Maui’s west coast where a modest starter home two decades ago now sells for $1 million.

Residents with insurance or government aid may get funds to rebuild, but those payouts could take years and recipients may find it won’t be enough to pay rent or buy an alternate property in the interim.

Many on Kauai spent years fighting for insurance payments after Hurricane Iniki slammed into the island in 1992 and said the same could happen in Lahaina, Higa said.

“As they deal with this — the frustration of fighting insurance companies or fighting (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) — many of them may well leave because there are no other options,” Higa said.

Easily accessible federal assistance CONFIRMED!

It’s shameful that U.S. taxpayers are literally paying for the salaries of Ukrainian government employees, yet our own citizens in Maui are left to fend for themselves after the fires leveled over 2,200 buildings. Another example of America Last policies at work.

No - you offered propaganda. Even the left's own Wash Post admits that government boots on the ground were basically non existent (and that story was 4 days after the fires) Originally Posted by berryberry

Perhaps a comparison to how Dubya responded to Katrina would better illustrate the quality of response currently in Hawaii.
But hey Bush got revenge for 9/11 so its all good. Oops. Sorry the topic here is disaster relief, let me stay on point.

I will leave this link for those who embrace the Red Cross and might want to lend some actual assistance for those in need:

There is ample federal assistance available for the people of Hawaii. This entire thread is based on a false premise. It should be closed immediately.

sorry you can't see it berry, but it's obvious, he was laughing at you.

But I will agree on your point about Bush. George Bush passing over New Orleans after Katrina was like a defining moment that sunk his presidency.

Senile Biden was holed up on the beach after taking a two week long vacation while pushing for more aid to Ukraine than Hawaii and gave "no comment" to over 100 dead Americans. Another disastrous defining moment !!!

The Hawaiian people have said that loud and clear

The pace of the search contributed to frustration among Maui residents already angered by local authorities’ failure to activate warning sirens as the blaze sped toward Lahaina last week and a sense that official relief efforts have been sluggish. Across West Maui, people have banded together to provide shelter, food, fuel and other resources for those left homeless by the inferno.

FEMA and Senile Biden were utterly unprepared

Shameful

In Maui:

Roughly 100 Americans are dead.

1,000 are missing.

One of the most beautiful places on earth has been reduced to cinders.

In Delaware Senile Biden can't be bothered to care.

August 13, 2021: Senile Biden takes off for a long-weekend as the Taliban takes over Afghanistan

August 13, 2023: Senile Biden spends the day at the beach and has “no comment” about a devastating wildfire on Maui in essence giving a big Fuck You to the people of Hawaii

Lol

Senile Biden will not even stop for the press and say ANYTHING for Maui!

Instead of going to visit poor Lahaina, he’s going to Nevada.

What a despicable piece of shit
