- “I figured I was just going to be as proactive as possible but you know the erosion problem, the septic system, all those things pile up, and then we’re at nine months since the fire and we’re not and we’re not breaking ground yet,” Ross said.

Ready when you are, Maui!
Hawaii time illustrated very well here.
CAN'T BLAME STR FOR THIS, BLAME YOUR GOVENOR.
The developers are getting what they want
No there not..
Permit person please approve the permits fast!! Lahaina needs to rebuild!! Please Don't take long...homes are needed.
Why does getting a permit take so long? What’s the process?
1. Create your project plan
Decide the scope of your project, its total budget, and the expertise required. Do not shy away from hiring contractors or architects and/or engineers to plan complex projects. You may also need the services of a general contractor for new construction, rebuilding, or mitigation work.
Design planning is also important as it will reduce future risks from any natural hazards.
2. Have a pre-application meeting with local officials
Local code officials are the best people to advise you on how to make your project a success and avoid potential problems that could cost you time and money. They will tell you exactly which projects will require a permit, about additional local requirements and the documents required for your permit application.
3. Submit your building permit application
Before applying for a permit and submitting your building permit request, make sure that you have all the necessary forms, documents, and site plans ready. Give details regarding the building materials so that the review staff can understand your project easily.
4. Work with the officials on the permit review process
This is the time when the local code official will review your proposed project. They will determine if it’s in compliance with the local building code and meets the zoning, environmental, and construction requirements. If it’s a new or complex project, the building department will evaluate the design.
If your plan meets the requirements, your building permit will be approved. Otherwise, the local code official will identify issues that need to be addressed. Make the necessary corrections.
5. Obtain your building permit
With a permit in your possession, you now have legal permission to start your construction work in accordance with the laws and regulations.
There will be a permit fee based on the size of your project, the review, and the inspection process. Keep in mind that you will need separate permits for electrical, heating, plumbing, and air-conditioning work
6. Schedule on-site inspections
As you continue your construction work, you will have to schedule inspections throughout the process to ensure that it conforms to the parameters. Your local code official will determine the number of inspections that your project will require. Your contractor must make sure that the inspection approvals are secured.
7. Get your final approval
Once the construction work is complete with proper code compliance, the official will provide you with an approval after a final inspection.

I feel bad that fire victims can't rent because they have too many children, pets, etc. Those are choices they made. When I was young, I married young and had one child. At that time, I learned I couldn't even support myself or my one child, so I made sure I didn't have any more children unless I could afford to house and feed them. As I renter, I wanted so badly to have a dog or cat but I knew that would hinder my finding a rental to rent with a pet or too many kids. So I made the choice to not have pets or anymore children. Many people make bad choices and now we have to feel sorry for them and carry them on our backs. Reward those who made bad choices and punish those who made good choices? Not fair!
