Uhh, excuse me if I throw up a bit in my mouth about the quote from "Local developer Christopher Greene":
> Local developer Christopher Greene said he’s concerned that the fires will push local residents out of their community.
> "Does this benefit Maui moving forward or does it gentrify it more and hurt the local population? I think we know the answer. And so it’s really critical to rally as a community and also respect the Hawaiian people and their culture and kingdom."
And here is the video of his they show: https://youtu.be/ujLzG8zR8uw https://youtu.be/ujLzG8zR8uw
Meanwhile, this is his project, https://islandproject.com/ https://islandproject.com/ , which as far as I can tell seems to basically be "Luxury Maui Timeshares on the Blockchain", https://islandproject.com/about-us/ https://islandproject.com/about-us/. My personal opinion, but it seems to basically merge the scummiest parts of the scammiest industries I can think of: time shares, crypto ("Non-fungible parcels"), and televangelism.
So to have this guy warn about how unscrupulous investors are taking advantage of the locals by gentrifying Maui??? Some people really need to invest in a mirror.
