STOP THE PRESS!!!
IF THE MAN THAT HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH HIS HOUSE IN HALEIWA, NO CAN FIX HIS PROBLEM.
THEN THIS HOTEL SHOULD NOT BE THE EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!!!!
Sneaky is selling lanai to an Outsider, “Larry Ellison!” How dare the U.S. Government sell Hawaii land ILLEGALLY.
Realistically… every single property sold since 1-17-1893 was done illegally, not only Lana’i.
I have a question, why is it people who have beach houses are prevented and are heavily fined. But a hotels go and do as they please with no consequences?? Are these hotels giving bribes to city officials?? Or are these city officials just not doing their jobs??
good... ?
No public input. Yes, the hotel owns the land it is built on, but the beach belongs to everyone. They should have met with the folks before they started ripping up the beach. The Hawaiians get upset when big corporations start changing areas they have fished on and swum in since "hanna buttah" time. Also, where did they get all that sand? When Waikiki resanded, they brought sand
in from 20 miles out to sea. I like the idea of using the buffer zone to make it more resilient.
You figure saving the beach would be enough. 🤦🏻♀️
Yeesh you guys don’t even hide your racist ignorance huh.

Who said this is “saving” the beach?! Did global warming stop? Did the oceans all of a sudden stop rising? This isn’t “saving” the beach! This sand, just like the sand that was there previously, will recede. The resort will have to continuously replenish the sand… by taking it from elsewhere.
But you’re completely missing the point, because all you’re thinking about is having sand to frolic on as you sip a mai tai.
1). The resort is being allowed to take action to save the shoreline, whereas residents facing this same issue are expected to take the loss and move.
2). There appears to not have been an environmental assessment done either here or where the sand was removed from.
3). There are often times ancient burials in sand (particularly so in this area) and no Hawaiian practitioners were brought in to assess either area, nor were Hawaiians made aware of the situation. Hopefully you can understand the flaw in bringing heavy equipment in to drive over and bulldoze sand where there’s potentially burials or other cultural artifacts, so I won’t have to explain THAT to you as well.
I wish they would put some sand along US1 in the Florida Keys and Islamorada because the beautiful little beach that was once there is all but gone as the waves lap at the edge of US1
The issue is foundation not sand use gravel from roads create a stronger foundation resistant to water like what you would find in lava rocks
The coastline of Pu'u Nani'i is also eroding, and efforts to prevent further erosion of the shoreline will begin next month.

The biggest issues is the water watch what doing nothing does see the water literally be the back yard would concreate help or make it worse
104 golf courses occupying thousands of acres of land while 3/4 of the native population is either homeless or facing homelessness.Give those people some picks and shovels and let them dig up all that mismanaged wasted land.
In the 90s, homes were cheap, most of the locals I knew were happy to smoke ice all day, not work and piss away any money they had on kool-aid and sugary foods. It's why most of em died from diabetes and overeating the wrong foods.
@@TheAgentAssassin Dude,sit down and STFU!!
Wait 4 The Big South Swells The Sand Will Be Gone In Days ,, Just Like The Tourists They Will Be Gone In A Few Days To ❗Wake Da Fk Up ,, It's All Going Into The Ocean 🌊🌊 * Paradise Lost *
Maybe they should have “peaceful protests” like they do in the mainland. 🤣🤷🏻♀️
Send a bunch of people going to the beach and throw a giant sand castle competition it accomplishes the same thing and everybody is happy until they think about it
No Hawaiians No ALOHA 💯💯❗
They care more about stealing land than they do about aloha. As far as they’re concerned, no Hawaiians = no one to protest… and that’s why they’re happy to facilitate the rise in housing costs that leads to the displacement and diaspora of kānaka maoli.
So their latest beef is the 'native Hawaiians' don't like sand on the beach? So unnatural.
That’s not the issue. It’s that they are not talking about these decisions that further compound the harm to the environment with the anyone other than themselves.
@@abbieharris9841 finally someone who gets it
There’s a lot of issues with this, for one thing resorts appear to be getting granted special privileges to bring in sand whereas residents who face this issue are expected to take a loss and move… there also doesn’t appear to have been any environmental assessment done here … and most importantly it’s common (particularly in this area) for there to be iwi kūpuna (ancient ancestral burial grounds) IN the sand, so to just nonchalantly bring heavy equipment in to transport sand from other areas and drive all over this area without bringing in kanaka maoli cultural practitioners to first access the area, means they could be destroying burial grounds here and/or where they’re removing sand from.
But sure, trivialize it to “Native Hawaiians don’t like sand on the beach.”
I was at that beach last year and it was dangerous. It needed to be fixed. So, do these people want a payoff?
Brah theres no price with your “ THESE PEOPLE “
Yeah, why would they have an input on what the hotel is don’t to protect their interest? Arrest them for trespassing. 🤷🏻♀️
@@puudavis2007 I am being honest now. Why do they think they own it just because they were born on the islands? I am American Indian from Nor Cal but I don't go around claiming I own California. If it was old times, "these people" would still not have a say because the King owns the island. So, to me as an American Indian, I see a lot of opportunities I would not have being in a tribe mentality. But I like to work. Something tells me these people get disability checks.
@@erikh9991 honest brahdah you don’t know the history maybe what the foreigner wrote, the only truth they did write was “ The savages bathe five times a day” ! When you don’t know or want to know then the remarks like yours is made . Alway American has a reference to being Native American but never lived on the reservation neither can they trace their ancestry or even participated or attended a powwow. At this point many areas where development yes along the shores, are being destroyed replacing it with sand from another place will not help . Many plants, things in the sea to you and others may be meaningless to you but it’s food , medicine to us even sands from certain areas it’s hard to explain but I hope you will allow the spirit of Hawaii that apparently you have embraced teach you . America s occupation of Hawaii has only devastated and destroyed our islands
@@puudavis2007 As part Native you comments are condescending your family wasnt hunted down and killed like animals, run off the land ending up on a crappy Reservation like mine were...and claiming all the islands as cultural is in itself arrogant..colonists didnt do anyone any good, not dismissing what happened there, at the same time we live with it
The one time i got spell check off litttarally the one time i got spell check on buy instead of by I Hate Computers
eh, all the islands that are moving away from the mantle below Kilauea are all going into the ocean one day anyways, its all futile in the end but meanwhile, its an insult and a stab in back to the locals and their childhood/ancestral stomping grounds that are being molested as such.
Greed, follow the money. They are just doing this to make more money. No love for the aina.
Kani wana popoo
Native Hawaiians? How is that defined?
come on man don't you know that anyone born in hawaii is a native? sheesh
@@gregh7457 Come on dude really. I seriously hope your joking and not that dumb even children have seen Lilo and Stitch. Everyone knows Hawaiians are an indigenous people.
@gaslighttv1826Racist much . Scratch that you’re just racist and an unimaginative one at that.
@@gregh7457 a native what
@@therichandthepoorwilldiesa6564 ignore Gregh homeboys talking out of his ass. Native Hawaiians are descendants of the indigenous peoples of Hawaii.
