The government is doing excatly whats needed Don't like it Theres the door All you foreigners need to understand Only you guys want Don't want this All the local people want this. The mayor is a former judge He knows the law more then any of you. All the prices will drop. Yeah the last 40 years Our politicians sold out
Unfortunately they did not have enough interest in the property and they decided to not go with the auction. It is still available for sale.
What were the results of the auction?
Just wondering, what happens if the tenant improves their income do they get evicted after they have been a good tenant?
That is a great question...It is probably something you would have to take up with the Grant Administrator
Short term rentals have driven up the cost real estate on Maui. Residents are competing against entrepreneurs that that see residential properties as a business proposition.
I disagree, the lack of good county leadership creating a path to permanent affordable housing supply has caused the problem...we have a supply problem and that is a result of poor government leadership over the past 20 years not planning for this. Paul Brewbaker has been telling the mayors office for 20 years we need more housing but no one listened.
Thank you 🏖️🏖️💕💕💕💕💕
I live on Maui Island born and raised here
Too bad most home owners can’t take advantage of this as it requires that you already have an approved permit and building plans in hand in order to apply for it.
Better sell fast prices are falling
Most people there are all about full Governmental control.
Ever notice how Bissen just loves to be in the Lime light and on T.V. news Fake Smiling and hugging his people as if he's the Hawaiian Native Son Savior and hero of the day, He's on an Ego trip whose position as Mayor fuels his Fantasy Trip that he is actually the Native Hawaiians Spirit Savior reincarnate, but He's actually just a good ole Hawaiian Con. 😮
Remember how insulting Bissen Treated his own Olowalu People? Back Stabbing them! Never consulting with them First before he went ahead behind then Backs to get the States Approval for installing the Dump in Olowalu! Bissen never cared about them or the ocean habitat ! He's no good! He's a traitor and a thug Player. who belongs in a Lockled cage For Vipers! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Mayor Bissen must have strong ties to a group of Thug corruptors, He Failed miserably to Protect the safety and the Lives of all Lahaina Residents on The day of the Fire. Early morning 8/08/23, he failed to call a state of emergency, he failed to call out National Guard troops, he failed to immediately Fully activate the EOC= Emergency operation Center, he failed to call HECO into the EOC, he failed to have HECO clear Power Poles and Lines Off Lahainas main Evacuation Escape route out via HWY 30 South and let eleven hours Lapse, Keeping it closed 5:51 AM to 5pm! Until a lower level Police Officer had to order HECO crews/work trucks OFF Evacuation Lanes and order them to open it up, to stop the Trap! Bissen Failed to order all high level Police and Fire Chiefs into the EOC, Bissen Failed to Sound the sirens The whole 12 Hour time period while Fire raged killing people, he also failed to Be Present in the EOC with Keen pro-active interactions and responses, he remained complacent ignoring All what was going on with the Firestorm. As he was nonchalantly and oddly going to the Doctors during the crisis, 69 people who needed warning and rescue, were burning to death, as he told the state Lahaina did. not need assistance! Do any of you See his complacency and abnormalacy and ignoring of all safety Protocol a problem? Does it dawn on you, he actually intentionally waited and wanted the town unwarned and completely leveled Before he signed the state of Emergency Papers at 8:00 pm. what of his Deadly Memo at 4:56pm Telling people to endanger then lives by sheltering in Place in a Firestorm! Is He a crazy Psychopath?? I believe his actions and abnormal response indicates that he was a part of a Arson Attack on Lahaina, he was a part of a pre-planned gridlock Trapping of the People which resulted in great suffering and death, So, now you all think mayor Bissen is now hot capable af screwing All of you over, too? He's capable! Yes, him and his crony Thug Dogs are not done yet, I guess death and destruction and foreclosures are not enough for them, it is now time for him and his dogs, rip into your Financial holdings and Level you and it, until they get yours, too! Answer: Recall his Ass.
Thanks Tom for keeping us informed. Of course there is a hidden agenda. Bissen is representing the big money interests, not the people of Maui.
How about speaking out for local residents no one has ever cared until now!! I approached I approached the former mayor at Saint Teresa's in Kihei and complained about and complained about why he hasn't done anything to help the locals with housing or affordable affordable homes or rentals and all he said was well his kids can't afford to live here either!! It's so much BS!! Who is ever telling truth and really has Maui residents best interest rather than the wealthy Realtors and investors... Making profits....same as BlackRock and Vanguard....all about profits not about making a better and affordable community!!

Wow!!! So so much BS who is ever telling truth and really has Maui residents best interest rather than the wealthy Realtors and investors... Making profits....same as BlackRock and Vanguard....all about profits not about making a better and affordable community!!
This is first time I'm speaking out... And I'm all about providing homes for the local residents!!! We came from Virginia where they provided much housing being a "commonwealth state" it's very interesting how everyone is coming out of the woodwork about losing money in their vacation rentals all about prophet but what about the housing that was never available even for us when we first moved here!! We rented from a realtor at at a higher cost than a mortgage would be. I have 3 graduates from Maui high They will never be able to afford a house here... I see all the new developments from the developer town we had to wait... Through five or six lotteries to be chosen to get a house in Wailuku where you have many VIP s like the police Chief from Vegas getting the most expensive home with best view over 1.4 million!! Maui real estate and development is absolutely so unfair and it's corrupt!!! The local residents should be looked after and also be able to afford after living here and working all their life!!! It's absolutely disgusting!! So now all the Realtors including Eric West.. . You are all speaking out because it's your bottom dollar it's not about the local residents affording decent homes or EVEN rentals!!! Think about it!!! Government is helping so many millions of illegal immigrants all over United States BUT no help for Lahaina or all of Hawaii!! Many live in poverty!! There is NO middle class ...it's definitely disappearing!! Very very SAD with 5 children and a sad future for them to have the " American dream!" We all work so so hard for
Climate Change is making weather events more extreme. This will impact the worlds food supply. Floods, droughts, fires, excessive heat, snow storms and low water levels in reservoirs and in ground water storage are becoming more common. We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire. Stop building and financing more coal fossil fuels power plants. Time to go all in on wind and solar energy, battery storage and electric vehicles. Fossil fuels are a bad investment for people and the planet. The cost of dealing with the impact of climate change will be greater than the cost of reducing the impact.
Maui has figured out the perfect system to stymie all development (aside from luxury housing) while pretending to support affordable housing. They have'nt developed water delivery systems, they don't turn government-owned, entitled property over to developers to build affordable housing, and those affordable housing developers that have tried have been burned by our County, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you're wondering why the housing project for West Maui fire victims went to felon Paul Cheng ($68 million) instead of an honest developer, it's because the good ones have all left the room. Including one born and raised here, that develops affordable housing on the Mainland, but not here.
Tom, in addition to owning a home in Kai Malu, we also own an STR at Maui Kamaole. I am not in favor of converting Maui Kamaole to a condotel or any other use. As LegalTyranny stated, below, the Constitution is on our side. Let's not negotiate against ourselves. There is no compromise. We will win in court, if it ever got that far.
@@joegatlin534 i agree that zoning conversion undermines the power of the 7,000 owners… i am just trying to put out the information i am hearing and do the best job i can to interpret what i am hearing
@@LivingInMaui Thanks, Tom. Appreciate your doing that. The law is on our side, but I hope we don't have to go there.
Rezoning will not happen because it would have to be approved by the same clowns trying to shut down STR's.
Mahalo for your updates! How about those resort complexes that are under two zones (apartment & hotel)? I think there are a few that fall under those categories.
Very peaceful and relaxing place to live❤
Government doesn't get to tell you how to use your property period, end of discussion. Property rights are protected under the 9th amendment.
I don't think most people want a gas station to open in the middle ofva suburban single family neighborhood.
@@davewil3 So don't give them your money. Business owners comprehend the importance of location. It's also why you wouldn't have strip clubs opening up across from an elementary school.
Changing zoning would possibly change the taxes ….but really most of these condos effectively were built as resorts with pools, tennis courts etc etc
@@stickbrick8219 actually these are all currently tax at the highest rate just like the hotel zone properties, so the tax ramifications would be insignificant from my understanding of the current tax law
The worst thing about Hawaii is democrats control it and are shitting it up

Thank you Tom for speaking at the meeting. My wonderful late husband, Paul Dobson is rolling in his grave at this nonsense!
Greed is the reason you can’t build out of this. Affordable housing is not affordable to anyone who has to earn a living here and never has been. Workers sharing half a bedroom an even the couch and floor to be able to afford rent. Employers cutting hours and hiring more workers to circumvent benefits. I’m guessing that they would rather burn it all down rather than back off the grab. Maui has been sold to the highest payer since 1988, hard to stop the gravy train and admit it is everyone’s fault. Hawking our lands and resources around the world to enhance your bank account may be the first mistake but keeping the mask on the charade could be the last. Choose Aloha or Go Aloha people.
It’s a beautiful home, my dream house ❤️
Thank you Tom, great channel. My wife and I watched the entire hearing and it does look like the ban will pass as the answer seems to lie with short term solutions (STR ban) and long term solutions (speeding up permitting process, heavily taxing 2nd homes, etc.) Investments come with risks and this is going to be a case study of the risks associated with owning STR’s - nothing is guaranteed when it comes to real estate investing. STR owners that depend on STR income will have to sell and hopefully make money or break even. Smart money will need to head to the exits quickly. Times have changed and Maui is no longer a place to base income on the STR business in non-commercially zoned areas.
Totally a political play. He knows as an x-judge this bill will be faced with several lawsuits and get tied up in courts for several years. Spending thousands of tax dollars and battling along side the locals to get their vote come next election. There must be compensation to the owners who are affected by this ruling even if it did pass. So where will the millions of $ of tax dollars come from.
The county only thinks emotionally not logically. This county wants everyone to leave. Well it's happening. We are just like other blue states. Crime is up, tourist already don't want to come and spend their hard earned dollars. Remember when voting that they are Not representing the majority and only the minority. Tamara Paltin was in charge of our fire safety on August 8th.They need to spend their time on the things that matter like water, safety, fire prevention, infrastructure, open up more Hawaiian homeland, build affordable housing!!!!
over here in Butte County, CA. the country is giving housing Plans and ADU Plans For Free, letting Fire Victim Pay Small downs on Permits with 2 year repayment Plan, Also have grants and money for mitigation measures to clear grasses/Bushes/ Trees and do Fire Breaks why doesn't Maui do this?
Isn't it true that he walked out and didn't even stay around to hear the testimony? He needs to be recalled.
Yes he left after he said what he wanted
@@LivingInMauioh, after he gave his T.V. Appearance in hopes to Soon Land a Hollywood acting Job! He's a Power and control Mongrel who smiles at you Like a crocodile, as behind your back, he lies in Wait, sharpening his teeth for the one big rip and gnawing tear into you.
Thank you Tom for going to the meeting and keeping us informed! The longer I live on Maui the more I see these meetings as merely a pressure valve for constituents to voice their opinions yet, in the end, officials do what they want anyway. just like you were saying. Do you know of anyone familiar enough with Maui politics who could put together a simple list of representatives and which way they vote/lean on this topic? This way, come election time, we can all vote more intelligently.
For all that have spoken about the Mayors plans to eliminate STRs.Their just letting you have a say but plans are already in place to keep the haves and rid the have-nots. When the person with authority in charge is MIA on August 8,2023 doesn't it show? Andaya is just the scapegoat for the county.

Thank you for the video! 🙏🏻🙌🏻 very helpful, I really appreciate it
There is NO EVIDENCE that banning STRS will help residents or the economy! No studies! No statistics! It is purely ASSUMPTIONS with NO PROOF!
This is not about the money, this is about our people who need housing.
I agree with you we need housing but this bill will not solve the problem, the properties in question were never designed or developed as short term housing. The cost to carry will far exceed that of affordable housing price points. This will also severely impact many of the small businesses that employ 1000’s of residents resulting in lost jobs as well as a variety of other negative impacts. We need a solid plan to create appropriate workforce housing and this is not it in my opinion
You calculated at 100% occupancy year around for your 6000 units. Other than that I think you're right.... this will be a huge mistake for Maui County to implement this STR ban.
Thanks for your comments steve, I did not assume full occupancy I only used 6,000 out of the 7,100 available units.
@@LivingInMaui C'mon- you know full well that there will be some slow months for those 6000 units where they do not have tenants. I know as I owner occupy one of these condos as a full time resident in Maui and the 2 condos on either side of me are vacation rental.
FOLLOW DA-MONEY NOW...... THE PROBLEM USING WAY.........TOOOOOOO MUCH SMOKE & MIRRORS........ MAUI FIRE VICTIMS NEED TO BE THE PRIORITY NOW PERIOD.. AND NOT "SHORT TERM VACATION RENTAL" HOME OWNERS.... THAT HAVE TAKEN HOMES OUT OF THE RENTAL MARKET !!! THERE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN THIS WORD CALLED "VACATION RENTAL HOMES" ESPECIALLY IN "ANY/ALL" RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS EVA...PERIOD....DAMM-IT...!!! THE DEFINITION OF HOTEL IS "TEMPORARY OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS"...... THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN IN ANY/ALL RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS ..... SOLVE THE GREED HERE ON MAUI.....FOR THE LOCAL FAMILY'S NOW...... PLEASE GIVE THEM BACK THE RESPECT AFTER WHAT THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH MAUI NO KA OI......
Too many people from the mainland buying multiple properties for str. 25% own 20 units or more. Too much already. Find another investment.
Thanks so much for your comment Bill I appreciate your input however, I think your information is not accurate very few people own multiple properties and I know no one that owns 20 so I would love to know where your data came from so that I can explore that information and see if I’m mistaken, but I know that of all of my clients, very few of them own more than one short term rental property
$7M and has Murphy beds as a bonus, good luck!
Yes I know it seems crazy, but the oceanfront homes on Keawakapu Beach just down the street are selling for $18M and $39M so to get an ocean front beach house in a great location under $8M has some trade offs...
Too fast, it’s hard to follow or appreciate the home you are showing.
What they said 👆🏼 great homes but I’m dizzy
I have to agree
Thank you for your feedback! We are always looking for ways we can improve
Why all of a sudden are all of these douchey real estate agents from Maui popping up on my list of suggestions ? WTAF ??
Isn't math FUN! LOL - great work Tom
I'm visiting in 3 weeks time. I think this will unfortunately be my last visit. It certainly will be if this crazy proposal goes through.
