BRO. Kauai is an ISLAND. Not the mainland. Land is already EXTREMELY limited as locals struggle to find ownership in anything.
How is this legal?! STOP SELLING OUT HAWAII TO RICH PEOPLE

The chair pic actually made me cry.
This was Rusty. For 10 years he comforted patients and staff at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg. Yesterday, one day after his eighteenth birthday, Rusty passed away. Flowers and a pair of his trademark glasses were left on his favorite chair. He is our fifteenth 15/10 ❤️

At age 96, Hawaiian royal heiress Princess Abigail Kawananakoa died Sunday.
Kawananakoa held no formal title but was a living reminder of Hawaii’s monarchy and a symbol of Hawaiian national identity.

Flipping houses for profit in Hawaii feels like it should be a crime, but it’s not.
Flippers buy a home, beating out people actually looking for a place to live.
They invest a few grand for a half-baked renovation, then re-sell months later for $100K more.
Epitome of greed.

The state insists cases among visitors are low.
Well sure — visitors are on vacation. Why would they worry about getting tested while on vacation?
I’ll be asking the DOH for a rough estimate of how many tests run are actually for tourists.
Less tests = less cases
