He just owns some land. The fact that the land happens to be on an island doesn't make it any different to the position of any other landholder.
He doesn't even have his own county -- the land is in Maui County.
- citricsquid 14y agoSo to do anything on the island (eg: build a house, create a road, build an underground bunker...) he would need to get permission from the Maui County government? Thanks for the info re: Maui, I skipped over the part where it's part of the united states.
- gonzo 14y agoTechnically Maui is both a city (the whole island) and county (Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Kahoolawe) and no, I didn't put the okina(s) in. Fuck that noise.

- kamechan 14y agoyou know it was more work to type "and no, I didn't put the okina(s) in. Fuck that noise." than to put the okina(s) in, right?
- planetguy 14y agoPerhaps, but he wouldn't have had a chance to protest about the stupid ongoing attempt to incorporate a pointless, one-use extra character into the English language. The Hawaiian language has never had a written form apart from the English alphabet, so why they think they can go round sticking new characters into it is beyond me. I already know how to pronounce "Hawaii", you don't need a freaking apostrophe in there to remind me.
- kevinpet 14y agoThere are no incorporated cities in Hawaii, just the counties. Honolulu (i.e. Oahu) is called "the city and county of Honolulu" and the rest are just "county of ___". (Also learned from Wikipedia that there is fifth county that consists of a single isolated peninsula on Maui).
