This was less than two weeks ago.

The Sunshine Blog: An Unusual Defection For Hawaiʻi Democrats Short takes, outtakes, our takes and other stuff you should know about public information, government accountability and ethical leadership in Hawai‘i.

It's rather bizarre for a public official who lost their residence in the Lahaina fire to join a party that is depriving residents of needed federal assistance.

Rebuilding is more than replacing what was lost.

🌺 Native plants that belong here.
🌿 Yards that require less water.
🔥 Landscapes that lower fire risk.

Beauty and resilience can live side by side.

How we build shapes how we care for it.
🌧 Catch the rain.
🌿 Reuse what we can.
💧 Choose climate-wise landscapes.
Small choices protect what sustains us.
Rebuilding Lāhainā means rebuilding our relationship with water.

Interior of the huge banyan tree in downtown Lahaina. Christmas lights are strung in every direction. It is twilight.

Lahaina Banyan Tree before the horrendous fires. It's still alive and continues to be strong - just like Lahaina (and Maui)...

A Maui-shaped sticker with the Hawaiian flag on it and saying Lahaina Strong

An empty space that used to be Lahaina with some building sites

Hawaiʻi is paradise but coming back to Lahaina after 9 years is heart-breaking. What used to be a cute city is still a flat construction site with a few new houses, a few shell constructions, & lots of trailers & containers.

I remember the pain seeing the 🔥 on TV & it hits again. #lahainaStrong

In Lahaina, rebuilding means more than walls and roofs—it means homes that live gently with ʻāina.

#RegenMaui #LahainaStrong #AffordableHousing #SustainableDesign #CareForAina #IslandResilience #RegenerativeDesign

Every seed planted, every drop of water reused, every native plant restored is a quiet act of gratitude.

Rebuilding Lahaina with care and gratitude.

No surprise, Lahaina has seriously upped its restaurant game. Star Noodle’s new location. Honu Oceanside. Both spectacular. #lahainastrong

Lahaina Fire Survivors Make A Home Without A House Kuhua Camp had the highest concentration of wildfire deaths. The plight of this homeowner shows the challenges of rebuilding two years after the blaze.

Healing takes time. Home is more than walls...

Two years after, many still live w/ the loss — emotionally, physically, financially.

Mario and U‘i sleep under the stars, no house, no neighbors. Just memory and resilience.

I’d like to move to Maui.
It’s a small community, it’s easy, flip flops for life, and they help each other.

I’m here for this. I love Maui.
