Looking at tourism as a "cash cow" is really short-sighted....
There was a time when Hawai'i did not need tourism to keep it's economy alive.
Not really? “You like pancakes so you hate waffles”. This extremist response to a very honest yet middle ground observation is ignorance at best or malice at worst.
Because tourism, for worse or for worse, is Maui’s main cash-cow, us recognizing that as a community isn’t us conceding to said issue. No one even implied that such an economic system should be upheld so I’ve no idea why you feel the need to pushback on a narrative that wasn’t even made here…
What if the company will build or provided an apartment for their employees... uh and California are sending their homeless people by free vacation to Hawaii with only one way ticket.
Nice idea, but employers could hardly arfford that...
And besides, would you really want your housing situation to be so tied to your job like that? So you lose your job, they take the apartment back? Sounds not so nice... :/
As for the homeless migrants from the mainland.... yep, it is really disgusting that they just send them over like that... like "let Hawai'i deal with this problem..." It is awful. Shows how abusive/destructive the relationship between the U.S. gov't and Hawai'i really is....
I (PERSONALLY) believe that all indigenous people have not only a right, but a responsibility to protect the natural resources and balances of the lands of their ancestors. I do not believe this from a political or nationalist view - I believe the Planet herself is fond of the people who settled into her treasure troves and learned to live with her riches reasonably and respectfully. Beyond that I DO NOT believe we are kind to each other as humans anymore and our politics, countries, sexes, races, religions, and cultural beliefs make us fight against each other as being somehow more rightful over each other. This PLANET needs us to STOP killing each other in body and in spirit and turn our selfish attentions TO HER and ALL HER SUFFERING REGIONS and SPECIES. We have to learn to respect each other and stop being so entitled and just BE MORE RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUALLY! Nobody really speaks for the air, water, earth, animals, plants - and now our space atmosphere. Hawaii knows that if Goddess Pele speaks in an angered tone - none will have time for another opinion. But such is the same for Vesuvius, the Lines of San Adreas, The Yellowstone Caldera... The Kutiah, The Bering, and the Lambert-Fisher Glaciers are melting... I am a person - I was made from the elements of this land and I need the elements ALL working for humankind to not only survive but to live the happy, healthy lives WE CAN ALL HAVE ACCESS TO - IF WE would only CARE and SHARE this land alike. I should like to see the Amazon tell some raindrops not to fall there because they belong in North America. It's hard. I DO CARE SO MUCH about people's culture and nationalities and religions. All these diversities are amazing additions to the already incredible human experience. But instead taking it like we are all just different types of flowers from the SAME GARDENER... so many of us feel and act like a completely foreign species to each other - JUST because of shading or birth proximity. There are species and cultures I will never get to see because hate and greed already wiped them out, And now, there are SO MANY PLACES where I can't live because I'm not wanted there and I can't visit comfortably because there is animosity about my visit. And NONE of this is my fault. I just want to see as much of this amazing earth as I can before I die and drink in as many different flavors of humans and animals as I can while they are alive and walking. We can't lose what's left trying to protect it. We have to find a way to have REAL RESPECT for this WHOLE GLOBE and EVERY CULTURE and SPECIES that calls her home. I wads born in America so that makes me an American. Ok, very proud but not more proud than any other nation should be. I care about America - but I care that Hawaii was stolen like Texas and California too. I care about the EARTH and HER INHABITANTS... not about the politics and the lines people drew on maps to call their own. TELL THE WINDS THAT! WE just have to do better to PROTECT OUR WHOLE HOME and ALL of the creatures that HAVE NO PLACE ELSE TO CALL HOME!
Hana Hwy was built with public funds so you can't toll it. How can you place limitations on it?
When I lived on Maui, they did not charge to go to the seven pools in Kipahulu. Now they do.
I hear sometimes it's even closed off to the public. It was never like that when I lived there no matter what the water level was.
Now they also limit the number of cars that can drive to the top of Haleakala. And they charge for that now.
@@JohnO318 Wow I didn't know that. I left Maui in September 2014. Had to...
Sounds like they are transforming the island more and more into a tourist theme park.... Makes me so angry!!
Control the amount it tourists that comes in or on the island
@@stephanieadlersfeld8713 it’s the government getting greedy for more money in turn more tourists, politicians don’t care their selling Hawaiian land to foreigners
@@stephanieadlersfeld8713 They started charging because of all the garbage that gets dump along the roads. It cost money to have someone clean up the garbage - every day! They have to limit traffic to Hana because the residents cant get to and from their houses along the Hana Hwy.
Big box stores provide jobs and the products we need for less of a cost. That's a net benefit to the community but of course nobody would dare make that point on this panel.
so what do locals do for a living ? the cost of hotels are approaching 1k a nite 👺
Why aren't native Hawaiians running this channel
Why does race matter here? All races are represented in Hawai'i since a long, long time... If only native Hawai'ians matter or should be the only ones represented.... that would be an extremely tiny minority.
@@stephanieadlersfeld8713 it’s the native Hawaiians land and it’s only diverse because of colonialism/settler colonialism. It’s not going to feel like Hawai’i anymore if there are no more natives. You know the people who invented this culture in the first place?
Should we Boycott Hawaiian Air because they are expanding their route map and capacity to bring more visitors here?
