Governor of Hawaii pushes back on land buying in Maui after wildfire

Hawaii Governor Josh Green vowed to place legal barriers to prevent developers from buying land from wildfire-ravaged Maui.Many Maui residents are mourning the loss of their homes and adamantly pledging to stay put after the deadliest wildfires in U.S. history in more than a century destroyed neighborhoods across the island. They said they are worried if insurance payouts and government assistance don't come fast enough, survivors may lose hope and sell to people who will drastically change their beloved, but rapidly gentrifying community. In the days since the fires began, developers have reached out about acquiring the land they and their families have lived on for years, if not generations.
