Still not letting people access their burned homes in Maui
[Twitter] Maui County is REFUSING to let residents who lost their homes in the fire to clear their own property—let alone rebuild.

The government is only letting THEIR contractors into the burn zone to clean up.

The biggest problem is, at the rate they’re working, it will take SEVERAL YEARS for them to finish cleanup. And that’s BEFORE rebuilding even starts.

THEY’RE INTENTIONALLY STALLING AT THIS POINT, FORCING PEOPLE TO LEAVE.

Let me break this down:

➡️ Cleanup literally just started roughly two weeks ago (WHY?)
➡️ There are at least 2100 properties charred from the fire
➡️ They’re only clearing an average of 2 lots per weekday so far
➡️ Only seven trucks are running cleanup

And to top it off, even if your lot is cleared, you’re STILL not allowed to start rebuilding.

There needs to be a literal ARMY of people out here clearing lots. Not just a handful.

WHY IS MAINSTREAM MEDIA IGNORING MAUI?

#1 ...My personal conspiracy theory on this is that there's some SERIOUS builders and developers who want to build there, and as soon as they can run those pesky residents out of there they can get started.

And probably right

#3 /\ I'm looking for another reason for the delay. I cannot find one. Perhaps the origins of the fire should be examined a bit more closely.

#6 IIRC at Greensburg and Starbuck Fire, residents were not allowed access to federal emergency funding and services until after their property was cleared of debris.

#7 After burning the town down, residents are not allowed in. I think it is time for the residents to have a "pig roast".

#9 We were burned out in Tubb's Fire. Much bigger fire n we were able to get back in to pick through the rubble in a matter of weeks.

#10 Don't forget - they still are expected to pay their mortgage and taxes.

I'd say they are being setup so they will have to sell for pennies on the dollar and then wealthy neighbors can buy them up.

#11 I would have thought even the most corrupt government would have allowed specific contractors (who could be sworn to silence) to move peoples stuff (safely) into pods that could then be moved to a safe site. Then the insurance companies pay off the homes entirely and people can move on with their lives and nefarious schemes can progress.

What they are doing now baffles. It's like they are corrupt, stupid, and evil all at the same time.

#13 I don't think there's any doubt that the "powers that be" realize most people can't wait forever and will have to take whatever deal they get no matter how crooked it is.

#14 Whatever they are doing won’t withstand the scrutiny of discovery.
