Bring 3-D house printer here to provide homes

I lost my home in Lahaina and I want to see a 3-D house printer come to Maui .

An estimated 2,000 homes need to be built on Maui. That would justify the cost of shipping the machine to Maui and the technicians, who could teach a whole new generation of builders how to do it.

These 3-D printed homes can be framed in three days. Hempcrete should be used. It is both fire- and termite-resistant.

We could even have a whole new agriculture industry by growing the hemp here on Maui.
