Protect Lahaina: Freeze Real Estate Transactions and Aid Rebuilding

The recent wildfires in Lahaina, Hawaii, have resulted in a death toll of 99 and a housing crisis, with fears of land developers exploiting the situation. It is crucial to freeze all real estate transactions in the affected areas and declare them disaster zones to expedite aid. This will prevent wealthy investors from capitalizing on the tragedy and ensure that locals can rebuild their homes. Additionally, special provisions must be made for properties of deceased owners to prevent them from falling into the hands of investors. It is essential to prioritize the needs of the local community and preserve the cultural significance of Lahaina. The provision of disaster relief funds for property owners to rebuild is a necessary step towards recovery.
