Hawaii governor calls for 3,000 vacation rentals to be converted to homes for Maui wildfire survivors and threatens to use the 'hammer' of post-fire emergency orders to force landlords who refuse

Property seizures?
What about rebuilding the original community? Isn’t that why we all carry fire insurance?
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Hawaii Governor Josh Green said he wants 3,000 vacation rentals converted to long-term housing

He said there were 6,297 residents still living in hotels more than four months after the historic wildfire that killed at least 97 people in Maui

According to Green there are currently between 12,000 to 14,000 units legally rented on a short-term basis

#1 Commies got to commie. Notice how Lefty governors have no problem issuing 'emergency' decrees and fiats (with no end date) to grant themselves power. You can 'nationalize' the property but you are going to have to compensate at fair market value (which you most likely don't have the money in the state treasury for).

#2 If they use government "imperium" to coercive relocation of the residents/property owners to existing rentals, and don't permit the rebuilding of structures lost to the fire, poof, the "Neronian" solution to creating new open spaces for upscale development after Eminent Domain taking of bare land.! Brilliant, almost as if someone knew what to do in advance?
