Lahaina resident Melody Lukela-Singh said she was disappointed the governor didn’t impose an outright ban as he initially said. State Rep. Troy Hashimoto, a Democrat who chairs the House housing committee and represents the central Maui community of Wailuku, said the prohibition on unsolicited offers was a “nuanced” approach.
Green earlier floated the idea of the state acquiring land in Lahaina to ensure local people weren’t priced out of the rebuilt community, but said Thursday the state would not do this unless the community asked.
