The view is incredible 🌺🌞

Incredible home! No surprise it sold in 1 day.

none you should give it to the locales that actual native hawaians

Sellers should drop their prices if they are serious about selling. If not, vacancy tax will be on its way just like on Oahu!

Defiantly the kind of place im going to get when I move out of my parents basement

Amen!Thank you for your input on affordable house issues and why housing never took place in Hawaii and it's so true on thats 💯 👌 what your discussing and used the minatoya list is not the answers it will effect local people and businesses and what they propose is not justified in making those decision and these force's Who rule America is causing that is effecting our democracy and freedom and constitution.The power of people to voice and rebuttals. And Prayer for local business in Hawaii and Lahaina. Pure olareghy to use that affordable housing is just to build smart cites and be control of real estate's moguls who own all real estate's in Hawaii that are trying to take from us.fight for rights to keep STR in the hands ✋ local businesses who depend on it.and not at hands of those who responsible still for what had happened.

Owning property in Hawaii is different than here. Some laws are in effect that the state owns property will end in a few years. Just not up on it

I have met all the candidates. Those endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce and listed above are absolutely the best. Five of them are encumbents: Lee, Kama, Hodgins, Cook and Sugimura. Pele would replace Rawlins-Fernandez, and Aquintas would replace Paltin. Remember you can vote for all nine council positions. Two candidates running unopposed were not endorsed, so feel free to leave your ballot blank for Sinenci and Johnson. And thanks for voting.

Thank you Tom. We all agree that our economy needs to be diversified, but shutting down a substantial part of the visitor industry prior to having an alternative industry up and thriving is just a bad idea on so many levels.

And will only take 10 yrs to build anything with how slow hawaii is,,,,,hard pass i can build to finish anywhere else in half the time

Listening to Maui Council meeting about the Olowalu "temporary" toxic waste dump, they had no intention of using scientific advice from around the world. Dismissing every good idea that could solve the problem, not postpone a final outcome and harm the land and people in process. The mayor and county council are required to listen, but not to do the right thing. So very frustrating.

Did he just say “Billy Bong”?

Aloha Michelle!! It was great to meet you at Matteo’s! We enjoy the videos so keep them coming. See you soon! - Nick & Ashley

Nice views.

What a view!

Great video.

An election is a normal thing and in a country with 2 parties it is not “the end of the country” if the other guy wins……..

Aloha ❤ Congratulations

THIS IS THE VERY REASON THAT THE ISLANDERS ARE FLOUNDERING IN POVERTY!!!!aloha

Time to pack your crap……and give the island back to the natives!!! You are yet another realtor leech!!!!aloha

Congratulations Tom on 25 years on beautiful Maui. Love your videos. Aloha 🌺

Don’t worry they’ll make it up by raising taxes.

As an outsider, this revocation of the Minatoya list feels like revenge against perceived enemies of the housing crisis: STR owners. I do think there should be regulation to allow non-luxury real estate to be available to locals, but what's the reality of banning STR? Private equity firms buying up all the devalued properties. Luxury hotel groups coming in and buying up the ocean front properties and turning them in "residences" that they time share and rent out to their luxury clients-- in Kaanapali and Wailea. This feels like a short sighted "solution" that will backfire to a total corporate take over of these tourist areas. Flight against it, Maui! And get leadership that will allow affordable housing to be built and the economy to stay in tact. The Mayor is using The Kanaka Māori as blind for his corporate sell-out. That's clear to me. But what do I know, I just stay in hotels in Maui... a beautiful place and a beautiful people.

Sell and get out while you can! Fake real property market.

Seems to be the new way of the Democrats😢 is just push through their agenda and no need to worry about what your constituents want

I will one day have money to buy a house and lot to park my boat at. Congrats brother and thanks for the video.

You want to sell property in Hawaii…….YOU BETTER CUT YOUR ASKING PRICE IN HALF OR MORE!!! The natives LOVE THIS!!!!!

The only people who will be holding this bag of sheeit are the white land owners!!! Sell your homes to the locals!!! Then …..NEVER RETURN!!!!! WE USED TO SPEND XMAS ON THE ISLANDS……BUT BABE…….LET THE NATIVES FLOUNDER ON THEIR OWN!!!!!aloha

Do all the math you like, it's easier than that, take units off the market, the demand for the available units goes up, up goes the prices. As the prices go up, tourists go elsewhere. It's the small local businesses that hurt most. When we visit Maui, we go shop local exclusively. The prices where we stay (in the hotel/condo zone) has tripled. Sadly, may be time to go elsewhere.

Jesus…..you people are slow!!!! You’ve got to house the workers, who will be Korean and Philippine, on a ship anchored in Lahaina harbour and not cannibalize your vacation rentals!!! Affordable housing????? Affordable to who???? Some low life????

Nice. Thank you.

My Buyer's Agent found a home listed in the newspaper and decided not to show it to me because it was a FSBO, and the owner was not offering a commission. I also found that home in the newspaper and asked my Buyer's Agent about it. Long story short, I bought that home and directly paid my Buyer's Agent. I will never again use agents. It was in the year 2000 for $215000 in Longmont Colorado, when interest rates were 7.25%. Now, it's worth about $500000 and I recently paid it off completely after cash-out refinancing it several times.

Aloha Michelle and Michelle - Mahalo for the tour 🤙🏽

This bill is clearly pushed and financed by the hotel lobby . Maui residents should be allowed to vote on it.

Hello, Tom Tezak - Lifestyle Maui Team-How are you?? Hope you are well, recently I have looked to your channel. And saw that in your channel have many many problems, for this reason channel videos not getting much engagements. Not growing, If you can solve these problems, channel will grow, You want to know these main main problems??? I can tell if you want to know. here or in email!! Where?????

You guys are speaking too rationally. The truth is the local red shirt protestors’ objective is to reduce tourists and drive away mainland property owners, even if it means at the expense of destroying the local economy. That’s the insanity of the movement

Let's forget about the money and take care of the local people who have lost their homes. This guy from the mainland doesn't understand that.

Money hungry greedy mainland ers. Shame on all of us.

"It's time for this home to go to its new ownership so it can really live its glory of the location and property that it is." If ever you thought realtors spoke SENSE>

Not all haoles are like these two jackasses. We’re not all greedy money hungry thrives and liers. If half the tourist and half the illegals left we’d all be better off for it. Maui used to be great but people like this have ruined it.

You’re totally wrong. The homes will always need upkeep no matter who lives there. Who do you think is going to fix them anyway if there is no place to live. I’ve been here forty years and now raising a foster child and facing eviction. FROM THE DLNR. MAUI AND THE STATE OF HAWii. I don’t give a rats ass about your little rental business the people can moved here to get away from greedy people like you. Houses are for the people not the corporations. Sfb

Watching your discussion and agree with you completely. Unfortunately, we are not rich and barely make ends meet with our STR. The small income we were making is supplementing our Social Security income. This is a family heirloom in our family. The market has dropped so much because of this that we are now going backwards because no one is coming to the island for vacation. What can we do? We can’t sell it as it is a family heirloom. Plus it isn’t going to sell because of what’s going on. We can’t wait along time for the economy to change. We will go bankrupt at this rate.

This! Question is what are the residents voting for? The mayor and governor know but everyone else is pitted against each other without knowing their agenda. A vote "for" or "against" may be a vote for things we know nothing about

You didn't even address the likely financial outcome for many of these units. For example my son owns a 460 sq ft studio condo in a west Maui building that is almost all short term rentals. The current HOA fees are $1250 per month. Current taxes are $665 per month (assessed valuation is about $640,000) and insurance is about $100 per month. That adds up to about $2015 per month. In addition he pays a management company to handle the leasing, cleaning, etc. that takes about 25% of what he receives in room charges. The most net income he ever got in a year was about $50,000 (about 7.8% return) and he's owned the unit through Covid and the aftermath of the fires where he had all the same expenses and no money coming in. As a long term rental the taxes would drop to about $160 for a total cost of about $1510. He doesn't have a mortgage. Long term rents for units this size seem to be about $2300 per month. He would have to hire a management company to manage the property at about 10% of the rent ($230). So he would end up with total costs of about $1740 per month for rent of $2300 and a gross profit of $560 per month or about $6720 per year on a property worth $640,000. That's a profit of about 1%. He'd be better off putting the money in a savings account. Most owners have a mortgage on their properties so they have a much higher cost and would be losing a substantial amount of money each month. Obviously no one can afford to own this property under these conditions. In addition the building is over 50 years old and will be in need of a number of expensive repairs in the next few years so the owner's costs will go higher. Let's say the value of these properties collapse and now a "lucky" Maui resident can buy it for the new bargain price of $350,000 with a 6% mortgage for 80% of the sales price. They somehow come up with $70,000 down payment and then have a monthly payment of about $1675 per month, plus the HOA fees of $1250 plus the $100 insurance and their new cost is $3000 per month for that same 460 sq ft condo. The condo has only one small closet since it was designed for long term living. And as the building continues to age the upkeep costs will increase and the condo resident owners will have pay for all those increased costs. But at least they have a place to call their own right? Since the costs to live there are so high they will struggle to be able to meet those costs and the units are likely to fall into disrepair. And those people who have worked hard for years and had already were able to buy a place of their own may find that the value of their home has dropped to less than they paid for it. Of course that assumes that they didn't have a job that relied on tourism so they didn't lose their job or have their hours reduced because their boss lost business. And assumes the increase in tax rates that are inevitable for the lost tax revenues from the STR properties. And this also assumes that the STR owners aren't able to get a restraining order to stop the new regulations while they fight it in court for many years. Meanwhile the FEMA leases expire and they are right back in the same place they were after the fire, because the county STILL hasn't done anything real to build more affordable housing.

If you remember Mayor Bissen’s campaign for Mayor during the last election, I don’t believe he ever said he was running for all the people on Maui, but for the Kanaka Māori, and you aren’t included in that group, as well as most owners of STR properties.

AND…..you’ve got a dumpy old house next door!!!!! NOBODY SELLS AN EMPTY HOUSE IN HAWAII!!!! THERES NO WAY TO GET RID OF THE FURNITURE!!!!!!! aloha

20000000 condo??? How about a 90 000 3 bedroom home?????????? Jesus…..I’ll bet there’s a stampede by the locals to steal this cozy little condo!!! Room enough for 10 local families to move in together!!!!!

so people that knew that this bill would be approved and applied for permit months in advance are the ones that qualify for this?
