Pitiful
Obama got a permit to tear down & rebuild his mansion sea wall. These condo home owners should sue the county for discrimination for not being able to fix their sea wall.
GET RID OF THE
GOVERNMENT GANGSTERS!
I remember sleeping overnight on the sand in Huntington Beach as a college student.
Now, it’s nearly $30.00 to park and navigate through buildings and crowds.
Only a small sliver of the beach is visible as you drive in bumper to bumper traffic.
Used to park on PCH next to the sand, free no charge, sleeping bags, bonfire, good friends, good food, good company, ice chest full of beer, stars in the sky, free to view without a viewing charge, Freedom and liberty Jim Ladd on 94.7 KMET FM RADIO 1974-78, tar Beach, Jack's surf shop, the end Cafe at the end of the HB Pier, Schwin Beach Cruisers. Flip flops, hang ten shirts/shorts, coppertone lotion, the Golden Bear, Miller's Outpost, Cal Jam 1 and 2, OCIR, Whittier Blvd cruise nights, slot car racing, miniature golf, roller boogie, Naugles, KMART, A&W Root beer, Builders Emporium Hardware Store, the Teamsters Union, and so much more.
Yes, ocean front homes should have never been allowed. Across the street, have at it, but the ocean and beaches are owned by the public meaning no one can own the ocean…everyone should have access. Had that been designated that way in the very beginning all over the world, maybe there would be a lesser divide amongst humans. As far as a land grab, it does sound like a way to change the landscape but what is their plan? To recapture and capitalize with high rises and private beaches, no way!!!
This pisses me off . It MOST DEFINITELY IS A LAND GRAB!!! They need to sue the county. All the other ppl need to ban together and YES weigh in on thia bs . Thank You Eric for continuing to bring us TRUTH❤❤❤
What a sad and pitiful situation. Makes me sick. The people of Maui deserve help. Thank you for sharing Eric!
As a Native Hawaiian, I am disappointed and saddened that this type of construction even took place on this beach. It was far more beautiful before the development that cut off beach access and the natural fresh water flow from the mountains to the sea.
Amen!🌈🌺🤙🐠🌊🍍
Hi! Do you follow Brush Junkie here on YT?
Hawaii was more beautiful before people showed up period. “Native Hawaiians” just happened to be the first to get lost and “find” this place and start crapping on it. Time marches on. This is about government over reach, not which monkey showed up first. Turn Maui into a bird sanctuary and ban humans would be an improvement but not likely to happen. Letting buildings rot and fall into the sea is not a sane solution,
I totally agree…I don’t think any homes, housing should be built that close to water, sea or otherwise…I live in Canada 🇨🇦…same thing happens here, totally unnecessary…
Regardless you are missing the point which is homeowners have lost their rights.
It's beautiful. It's a shame the corrupt government We have.
We have the best Congress and Senate Money can buy. We have the best Washington DC Reptillian swamp the Globalist Elite Cabal can buy, oh my!!😢

Why is it ok for Obama to have sea wall built?
Because he is the head of the snake.
His life will be shortened just watch and see 👀man needs to go back to Hawaii Kenya 🇰🇪 where he was actually born, Hawaii no like him
Does he.live in Hawaii now?
@@rlbrown1009 he has beachfront property there ans has a sea wall built

Sneaky Tactics with Land Grab intent
Absolutely
Part of the 30x30 project to control all land and coastal areas.
Can the owner sue the county for damages? That sounds fair to me.
I hope so.
3 years forced vacancy? I don't know why a class action against the county hasn't yet been filed.🤪 These owners have the right to sue! Thanks Eric, for bringing a broader light to this obvious corruption.
File suit for loss of use and diminution of value.
Can’t sue Mother Nature. This is not the only property that will be lost to rising sea levels
Don't asked as what we think. You already know the answer. You should ask the county why they won't give a permit? Secondly, ask the county if the property is demolished and/or fall apart. Will the homeowners still have ownership of the land? Lastly, ask the county if you won't provide a permit any time soon. Why is the county holding the homeowners accountable to continue to pay for the mortgage and taxes. When in fact, the homeowners requested to have the wall reinforced asap.
Thank you SO MUCH for shining a light on this unbelievable situation!
I LOVE that you LOVE Kahana Sunset the way I do!❤️
I feel that! It’s always been on of my all time favorites.
Seems like the government (State/County?) is denying the owners of the enjoyment of their property. Can the owners withhold payment of property taxes as a result? It would be interesting to know if there is any legal precedent that would allow them to do that. That doesn't absolve owners of paying their HOA/maintenance fees, but it would provide some financial relief and might light a fire under the government to settle the issue once and for all. If they are waiting to take possession of the property, then they should be required to pay the property owners the market value of the property at the time that the denial of the permit occurred. They caused the hardship and the negative impact on the property values, so the government should have to pay for that.
Eric, place a copy of "Burn Back Better" in the Kohana Sunset lanai library!!!
I work in a library in Hawaii and let me tell you. The things they are pushing on the children is disgusting and it's backed by the state of Hawaii government
The fact that Lahaina locals were trapped on roads and prevented from leaving by local law enforcement ... should explain everything
Great book ,I bought it the minute it came out.
“Kohana” 😂
@@EpicNorthShoreOahuHawaii eat your opihi and sit down boy.
Thank you Eric for illuminating this problem the landowners must be furious! It is just not right! What a beautiful view! Thanks for always being there, Eric!
Just watched PBS show about railroad in Scotland. Same thing as seawall needing reinforcement (it's the swift river current that beats down the wall).
So you're telling me that Great Britain with all its problems and strange government issues can see the wisdom of repairs to walls at base of railway bridges and historical building BUT a county in America can't 😢
We have been staying at Kahana Sunset for over 30 years. We used to stay in the F building but now opt for the building on the bluff where you shot the video. They have lost a lot of beach if you look at older pictures and they have in the past done quite a bit to stabilize the bluff. It is insane that the owners are still paying HOA and tax on property they cannot use. They should sue the county for loss and the stress they are enduring.
It makes no sense! Very nefarious! They need to support them in rebuilding their seawall. Thankyou Eric for keeping us informed ❤
Maui's heart isn't the same. The fires exoposed the present corruption at every level. The lack of transparency. Our government doesn't care about us. Leaving hawaii has unfortunately never felt so right.
That makes me sad to hear that you wanna leave I don’t think that’s right. I think you should stand your ground and I think all of you should band together the UBER.Rich are doing this to the entire entire world
They plan to condemn them??? That's their MO just like they did in Makena with local property needing a certain type of septic system knowing they wouldn't be able to afford it. Now mansions sit on those properties and drove up property taxes as well.
Just, Wow... Regulations
Hell 8🔥8 is opening for them on 408. They're at the crossroads now.
My son lives on the big island. They want to force everyone to put in 50,000.00 septic tanks! Land grabs all over the islands 😱
@@dianneschwartz7089
☹️
Oh wow! It’s all planned unfortunately 😟
It’s so sad…government ( both state and federal) has forgotten who they work for….trying to say what was approved in the past isn’t an answer….and trying to fight the government is an almost impossible battle and very expensive to win…just take a look at the progress in Lahaina…
It’s not hopeless and can only be changed by elections…. The swamp needs to be drained…..
SNL took a left, great video Eric, thank you
Absolutely a land grab! Man that condo is sweet! Much love
$450K is a fantastic price for an oceanfront condo, but unfortunately a no can until Maui County can 🤙
It’s a real life hunger games lurking in our future. It’s happening all over the world in the prime cities. It’s also happening in areas where the land is nice and secluded with natural resources available.
My family has long revered Kahana Sunset, since our first stay in 1977. I've stayed there dozens of times since, and have even written a novel that features it (with a fictitious name and backstory). We've sadly watched the coastal erosion take out much of the beach over the decades, but the property owners made beautiful adaptations to the grounds, and the view of the setting sun between Lana'i and Molokai is as sacred experience. It's the best kept secret in West Maui. The obstructive tactics of the County have spoiled and limited this experiences for many guests. That being said, I do also acknowledge the frustration of native Hawaiians and locals who have long been denied access to that particular beach. ( In truth however, the gates preventing access have been worthless for at least 20 years, but still.)
I live in Australia and I am gobsmacked at how close to the sea you can build, I can understand about sea walls and i think they're being awkward because they want the land for their own gains.MAGA
You get what you voted for.
You really think your vote actually counts for something? 😂
NO. You get those “selected” to rule over you & in turn, they condescend to give you whatever they want, which is nothing but more restrictions, increased taxes, no permits, no services, and a whole bunch of trouble. The government is not our friend
Yep, love building restrictions to keep the people homeless and poor. Creation worshippers (materialists) vs the Christian conservatives; Who are more of Creator worshippers (1 God believing, not "mother earth" believing)
Kahana is one of the best places on Maui. The sea wall needs to be fixed.
Thank you for staying in the good fight and keeping us informed of the actual progress going on with everything. I hear nothing. Thats expected when the officials look suspicious. God bless you!
You are so right!❤ Thank you for reporting this. Nothing like when I lived there in 1976. It’s nothing like it used to be.😢
Hi Eric so nice to see you and your beautiful smile!
I feel homes are built to close to the water in the first place, every where not just Hawaii 👍🤔. Take care. I thought that i would be coning to Hawaii this year but that wontvbe happening this year. Shit happens. It's ok. One day. 😊
They never should have built that close to the ocean.
Possibly but, you pay the government to do it. They know it won’t last long unless you can fix it. Definitely a scam
Exactly…
They didn't build it that close to the ocean. The beach was much larger when Kahana Sunset was built in the mid 70's. Over the years since then the ocean has eroded it away.
@@jkm757 plus it's high tide during video capture.
Beaches are notorious for eroding away then returning. A famous man once said "don't build your house upon the sand".
Just think what this type of development does to sea turtle and other wildlife habitat.
I think the lanai are both stunning but the master bedroom one seems to have no privacy from the neighbors. Being forbidden to repair your property is shocking. What would happen if the building falls into the ocean. There’s no excuse for that. These owners should be compensated or bought out by the county if that’s what they want.
You're asking the taxpayers to buy out the property, since the county does not have it's own money, only what it confiscates by power of law! Cheaper to replace every county official that has a say in the issue, with honest local citizens that respect property rights..
Of course it’s a land grab. If people stop paying their property taxes, someone in the know will pick up the property for super cheap-overdue taxes.
Oh my heart just skipped a beat! We moved to Maui in 1978 & rented the cutest little place right where Kahana Sunset is located now. We ate our first mango picked off the tree on the property, & went to the United Methodist church across the street. So many beautiful memories as newlyweds! We worked @ a few of the hotels in Kaanapali & I would walk the beach to work. Maui No Ka Oi! ❤
Eric, Great price and beautiful property. Would one be able to get insurance on the property
this current condition?
Governments are out of control!
Another stunning example of RULES for THEE but not for Me... Obama's sea wall
Hawaiian coastline need to be accessible for all and not blocked by condos with part time residence. Government should have never allowed building on beaches.
I agree, It's all corrupt
Our government isn't for us folks.
Unbelievable! So sad.
Who buys a home they can’t move into?
Some one who has 💰 to throw away 😢
They have a different agenda
the owner should have fixed it himself. no permit required
real estate speculation.
The sea wall was built long before the rise of sea levels. I think this video is misleading in that respect, along with his anti-government ideology. If this type of sea wall construction was viable, it wouldn’t be failing, would it? Perhaps not a land grab, but an acknowledgment that construction of beach front sea walls is not a permanent solution when dealing with the power of the ocean. Just a thought!
The owners need to be bought out and the shore returned to nature. This goes for EVERYONE. Thoughts?

We stayed in Building F for a week back in the late 90s....super nice condos...sounds like government overreach. Gonna be hard getting around the BS until someone steps up and signs off on the sea wall repair...sorry to see this going on !
WE rented a unit in this complex a few years ago (one of the higher up units), and other than the fact that it had no A/C we thoroughly enjoyed this older more rustic condo resort. Is it not obvious that this situation is just another example of how Hawaii has become the most socialist state in the nation by controlling all property owners? The WEF's plans and priorities are being expanded throughout our nation, and especially in those blue states who are anti-private ownership of anything, especially Hawaii. It all makes perfect sense, as the overall philosophy of our leaders currently in power is to strip any private ownership wealth from those who have worked so hard to EARN it, while spreading that wealth to some of the needy, while keeping most of it for themselves! This seems to be part of the agenda in turning our country from a Capitalist to Socialist society, while taking away our freedoms in every way possible. I PRAY THAT GOD WILL BLESS AMERICA with major changes in leadership, but I am not holding my breath!...
That's incredible - you own it but can't fix it?? It must be a land grab.
Why no one is not sueing the state ?
Hello Eric
Good to see your public work.
It’s a real irony, politicians with long range malicious intentions.
The rich politicians who favor corrupted rich land grabber developers.
It’s so beautiful, but I can’t imagine what a homeowner is going through still paying condo fees and mortgages and unable to use it. Bureaucracy at its best. Obviously the county approved the condo to be built so upgrades should be allowed. Very sad predictament.
Beautiful
I heard that these sea walls actually destroy beaches. And I have seen signs in your area complaining that beach access has been cut off to residents for 45 years. I live in Kahului and used to and would like to again visit a beach. But I hate crowds. I was in Kihei Saturday and it was wall to wall people at the beaches. There is a nature preserve, a swamp in Kahului, near the beach. I used to think it was a waste of valuable space. Now I love it. I don't know why you support these guys building ten feet from a public beach. Is it because you sell real estate?
Aloha Eric I would love to buy this oceanfront condo if Maui County will allow a permit to repair/rebuild the sea wall 🤙
Ha ha. There are others for 1.4-2.0.
You and a million other people !!! Me included!!
I wish they would leave the islands alone
Amen
Amen!
Before the condos were built, this beach was known as Yabui beach. As we witnessed with the Lahaina fire, the powers of nature are formidable. My father grew up on this property before there were condos on it. Seeing this video, my first thought isn't land grab but rather the impermanence of physical possessions/land.
natural fire at Lahaina? Where have you been?
Oh yeah lasers….forgot about that 😂
Fix the sea wall
Build the wall.
You are totally on the right track😢😢
They’re not the only ones. All buildings built on the shorelines is going to be a total loss. They won’t give no F’s. They only want your money. All the buildings built on the other side of the road will be the new beach front
Thank you for your coverage Eric. Your a hero for what you have done.
Agree
The high water mark is an internationally recognized property divide line. So when they put this in, they should never have been allowed to be closer to the ocean in the high water mark. It sucks to be the owners of that place. But the county's doing what's right, which is reclaiming the land up to the high water mark.
They deserve to be able to rebuild the seawall end of conversation
Thanks Eric, you provide such important info always!! Information is Knowledge, God Bless you!!!
Maui Strong 🌺🌴☀️🌴🌺🙏🏻🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸
There are 21 army installations in Hawaii, most of those installations are deemed useless, why not turn these installations over to the Hawaiian people so that affordable housing can be built for them.
you are very well educated eric ..
beautiful peaceful ocean .. which
defines the land .. which lawyers for
county grab 😱 O no ! disgusting !
Good stop handing out permits to properties that shouldn’t be built on the goddamn ocean. Greedy ass developers destroying all of Hawaii. Paving over paradise and putting up parking lots
I'm a past visitor, looking forward to a visit soon however the politics of the have vs have not is disturbing ....all over the world and particularly in Canada too. Surely there are wsys of ousting the negative element. They aren't exactly hiding. That calls to mind the police chief and mayor
As soon as Trump gets back into office, the seawall will be fixed and the new owner will be very stoked.
😂
Delusional
Not
Are you stupid
State issue. Trump wouldn't be able to help. It'll have to work it's way through the courts.
Your a great guy n your son !!
Good morning we have been there so Sad our daughter and son in law stayed in that building , why doesn’t the mayor / gov. Put some of the fire Vic . In that building I’m sure they could win win let them stay Free and fix the wall with the gov . Pay the material
I think I know Kahana Sunset -- my timeshare is across the street I think. I own a bi-annual week at Kahana Falls. We were last there late April 2021. I love the beach across the street!
Would it be a good investment if i buy the board a taco bell and then the permit is approved?
Leave the waterfront for everyone, not just the priviledged.
Used to be is right.
good video. We have stayed several times in F building units. It doesn’t seem fair to not issue a permit to repair a legal seawall. Surely the owners have considered a lawsuit? We have stayed at Kahana Sunset at least 15-20 times by now and absolutely love it. But it’s sad to see this happening to F unit and to the owners.
Eric I remember watching the sea wall being poured (cement) on the Maui Sands property so what gives? How can they build a sea wall and other people can't?
I hear ya. I’ve been saying that for years. It’s not fair!
Gotta admit that’s one ugly cement sea wall.
Eric you’re right on track keep going on my brother wish I could be in on the fight
Things that make you go "hmmm" 🤔
I stayed there twenty years ago nearly loved it There weather great
Love your videos, fuck ophar
I'd approach a construction manager expert, offer an under the table job, no legal expectations are guarantees.
Get afew concrete truck drivers on the sly, and and pour a new wall. F them
Sweet Jesus people, stop asking for permission!
Very beautiful area! Just wondering why wasn't this building built up on pilings instead of land & water level?
Also,why doesn't the permit office have to provide a reason for denying the permit?
Eric, don’t tell everyone about Kahana Sunset. It’s the best kept secret on Maui. ;-)
When any government takes away any building for any reason, your ability to live there , they can not expect you to pay taxes on that property
Same thing is going on in Puerto Rico with oceanfront properties like mine. Permits originally issued, fees paid, jobs created for the construction and ongoing maintenance, taxes generated and paid, BUT if the ocean has caused damage to your Seawall or home the government says let the property fall into the ocean and will not issue a permit.
Beautiful spot. Total land grab. I appreciate your work in all aspects of reporting and real estate ❤ aloha!!! 😊
Never coming back to the republic of Hawaii. There are too many other great places in the world to visit for a fraction of the price.
Can they place granite blocks for the seawall? They just lay on the beach like in Galveston Texas and other places that use majority granite blocks to make wave break piers.
What do you think about Canadian Pension buying the old plantation land
Pls share more! Fellow Canuck
I have been following your blog since August. We are coming to Maui April 19th for a week and would like to meet you! Joel and Marilyn from NM.
Aloha Joel and Marilyn! Sounds great. I typically hang out at airport beach when I’m not working. Ha!
This project should have not been permitted as it was back in the day. That being said, since it was legally built, it should be allowed to be sensibly maintained. But, the slope gets even more slippery. How soon before they determine that Lahaina Shores is too close to the ocean? Or the Whaler? Or dozens of other projects? There is no doubt in my mind that the ridiculous joke of a governor would gladly take all of these through eminent domain just to $crew the "rich people" that he blames for making him a failure as a doctor.
So incredibly beautiful 😍
BETWEEN THE SEA AND THE LAZY GOVERNMENT OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS THIS HAS DEVELOPED. THE COMMON SENSE WAS THAT LONG GO THE SEA WILL TAKE BACK. FEEL SORRY FOR THE PEOPLE .
MAUI SHOULD STOP TAXING SINCE UNABLE TO USE. NO LONGER WORTH THE 2 MILLION. 😢🙏
There’s ridiculousness all up and down West Maui where erosion mitigation isn’t being approved. Stupid AF! Puamana has some buildings on the south end that are doomed eventually. Why? Approvals…
Yes sir.
It shoulda never been built that close . Bring back the beach 🏝️
It will depend who owns the ocean front property.
I would love it!!
It must be incredible to live there all year long..I live in wv..a lot of different weather..😢it's no maui 😊
Maui housing crisis has one set of culprits during last 40 years, those local politicians and bureaucrats... Most locations do not need permits to rebuild original structure "as is" but 'modifications' (altering the original design) require permit. So, repairing the original structure to be as it originally was should not be a problem. Blame game is a great way to do some local politics. Accusing and blaming county officials in loud manner about every trouble they cause, ..is the way to do it and get things done. Being loud about problems is the way to do it... 315 days to get a permit to rebuild a house in Lahaina.., tells something how badly things are in Maui County administration. Lot's of complaints (until things begin to improve) ..they deserve to get...
If Oprah owned the property then the County would approve the permit in one day
Unfortunate situation, how are they keeping the insurance for this section of condos? Seems like the insurance company would have pulled out already. The county should at the least pay the owners the assessed taxed value of the property.
I’m wondering if the homes on down the beach are allowed to rebuild their sea walls? There’s a $13.5 million dollar home for sale down there and because of the sea wall failing next to it, the oceans edge is nearly inside the house. It’s only about 20 or so feet from the house with nothing to prevent further erosion. 🤷♀️
The government you continue to re-elect. Just getting what you asked for.
