The latest response to the high cost of emergency housing for Lahaina fire victims from "Old Fish Tale," (as some are now calling Gov. Josh Green), belies the end of his short-sighted "tap-the-visitor" revenue-generating agenda.
I'm all for providing responsible and secure housing for our Lahaina ohana, but whatever happened to the affordable alternative of acquiring high-grade "tiny home" modular units?
If set up in a well-thought-out and uniform mini-city complex, "modulars" can form future student housing for the University of Hawaii Maui.
Housing is desperately needed, which will inure to the benefit of the students, the people of Maui and the expansion of our UH Maui educational facility.
To those with any common sense, there is no forward-looking management of federal, state and county resources by the current administration.
We are learning the hard way that the wrong people got to the top of the food chain here in Hawaii.
