Was the Maui Fires a land grab? Why can't we close the border?
Experts have said a possible cause of the fire was high winds that downed power lines. Some victims have sued Hawaiian Electric, the state's largest utility, accusing it of providing equipment that was not strong enough to withstand heavy winds.
Authorities say 115 people died in the fire, which tore through Lahaina in a matter of hours. About 1,800 to 1,900 homes were destroyed. The town of 12,000 people was home to many who worked in hotels and restaurants in nearby Kaanapali and Lahaina itself.
About 6,000 people are staying in hotels and vacation rentals while waiting for the toxic waste left by the fire to be cleaned up and rebuilding to begin.
Earlier this month Green, a Democrat, said he wanted to impose a moratorium on land sales in Lahaina to prevent people from being displaced. But the governor said a blanket ban “may not be doable” and he didn’t want to prevent people who are considering property sales from initiating those conversations.
The prohibition on unsolicited offers for property was a “de facto” moratorium, he said.
Green said people have reported unwanted offers to his attorney general, although he did not reveal how many investigations have been opened. Those found guilty of a violation may be imprisoned for up to one year and fined up to $5,000.
