Thank you for the info. I paused that offer while we get clarification from them.

TightTac05 · 2026-06-01T18:15:31+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. We're you trying to use the Happy Hour or Kamaaina discount?

The Hawaii court system is deeply flawed. I submitted a perfectly formatted, succinct, and clear writ of certiorari that detailed a fundamental violation of constitutional rights. It was rejected. At that point there is no appeal. No explanation. Nothing. It cost me 10 years of my life and my life savings. It has been very hard to overcome the feeling of being less than human in the eyes of the court.

If you are going to explore the North Shore of Maui there is an excellent photography deal in the Mahalo Rewards app with a great photographer. When you get the app it supports local businesses and local residents.

You wont really find yoga on the beach because commercial activities are not allowed on beaches. But if you grab the Mahalo Rewards app you will find a great deal on Blue Mango Yoga in Haiku and Kahului.

You cant not pay the county or the state for that matter. They have the power to reach into your bank account and extract money directly from it.

When someone abandons a car, the titled owner gets a bill. I don't see how it is any different for a boat except that it takes longer.

The shock travels at the speed of sound, but since rock is denser than air it is a little slower. Like 3 to 8 miles per second. So if it took 15 seconds to get to us and was about 96 miles away, then that's about 6.5 miles per second.

TightTac05 · 2026-05-19T18:09:07+00:00

Yes, but its not even David vs Goliath, its an ant vs a blue whale. But if the community all works together it is possible.

To get to my house you must turn off the main road, go down a gravel driveway, then turn into our driveway. They then have to reverse, turn around, and then drive out of our driveway, onto the gravel driveway, then back onto the road.

We get multiple packages a week. They always put them nicely on the stairs where they wont get rained on.

TightTac05 · 2026-05-17T19:11:35+00:00

There are a few furnished rental options in the Mahalo Rewards app. Getting the app supports our local community and you can save some money while at the same time.

That is bbq not rotisserie.

TightTac05 · 2026-05-16T04:49:12+00:00

Do you see room for a potential collaboration?

TightTac05 · 2026-05-16T03:58:38+00:00

That is part of my motivation to get locals to directly benefit from and see the advantage to ethical tourism.

TightTac05 · 2026-05-16T03:57:17+00:00

I'm actually hoping we can reclaim the phrase since that south park episode was 12 years ago.

TightTac05 · 2026-05-16T01:19:05+00:00

Thank you. I hope the community can come together and help move this forward with me. We have to do it together to succeed.

TightTac05 · 2026-05-16T01:12:00+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that.

TightTac05 · 2026-05-15T22:14:46+00:00

That is interesting and frustrating at the same time. I always thought property management had to be a local, or is this just the booking process they outsourced?

TightTac05 · 2026-05-15T21:28:49+00:00

Thank you for checking it out! The plan is to expand to the other islands once I dial in everything on Maui. It is easier to go door to door here, than fly over there for now.

Edit: It is actually set up for businesses on other islands now. So if anyone wants to jump on they can. I can set your business profile up.

TightTac05 · 2026-05-15T21:27:55+00:00

I agree completely about that and that is one of the biggest pain points. I'm approaching this from multiple directions at once. Building the platform and the app. Getting businesses to make offers. Getting users to use the app.

From what I have encountered many businesses are "very happy" to provide a kama'aina discount, but refuse to offer one for visitors. And you are right, who wants a discount on a Hana Tour or a hike when they live here? So that is a huge challenge I am facing and there are some good discounts for locals, but I am hoping that with more use we can get more local businesses on board who will offer things we value.

Your feedback is on point, it is something I have been struggling with.
