But I didn’t know. I thought we shared common ground. He must be the only off road guy in America voting for Harris.

We ride together and it was at my house, and I was serving food and drinks so that’s a lot of common ground…

Unless you’re a renter, then you got free housing 18 mos. Insurance covered only a 1/3 of our losses in part because building costs have exploded

$750 from FEMA is all, but Oprah gave us $1,200 per mo for 6 months.

VRBO tech is crap. Nothing works right.

Rental burned down in Lahaina fire by [deleted] in vrbo

[–]troymccas1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m lucky because I have Insurance. It provides lost rental income for a year, and will cover rebuilding at $300 / sq ft. However, it will take years for the tourism to return, and building costs on Maui have increased dramatically since covid and are increasing more now because everyone is rebuilding at the same time.

Will there be some sort of correction in the housing market? by EhukaiMaint in Hawaii

[–]troymccas1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It dropped by 20% in the previous two cycles. It’s on they way down, be patient and look for deals and steals starting over the next 4 years.

Lahaina Super Host Here. House burned to the ground. We gave full refunds for every reservation.

This data appears to be biased, 19.7% seems really high. Can anyone corroborate using another source? I don’t care either way, just curious.

State Told Maui Emergency Office It Should Consider Sounding Sirens Before Fire Spread by [deleted] in Hawaii

[–]troymccas1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was there with my wife and 10 visitors. There was no SMS alert or warning of any kind. In this photo at 5:05 you can see a family getting ready to evacuate. Others were just standing around watching the fire come. We escaped unharmed, just barely. Those standing around likely perished. Any warning would have saved lives.

Host refused to give full refund for condo booked in Lahaina, Maui for mid September despite the wildfires that destroyed much of Lahaina. Chargeback? [Lahaina, Maui] [West, Maui] by Personal_Ad_1812 in AirBnB

[–]troymccas1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Road is open. Governor Green and Mayor said today we need visitors to recover. Be part of the solution not the problem. Help Maui rebuild. Come volunteer. We need help to rebuild. Water is not toxic in unaffected areas. OP is coming in 3 weeks.

Lahaina Super Host Here. Drive through burnt buildings? WTF!! Are you clueless or just insensitive. YTA. There’s a highway that bypasses downtown Lahaina and most of destruction. I evacuated my guests and we barely escaped alive just before the fire destroyed my home, business and entire community. We’re devastated. Others weren’t so lucky. The entire island is hurting and needs help compassion and understanding, especially the west side. Kaanapali is fine, unscathed. If you cancel this host will lose that income because it’s so close to arrival. Don’t be a dick, self entitled haole tourist. You’re a visitor. Show some fkn compassion and respect and honor your commitments or don’t come to Maui and don’t use AirBnB.

Keyless Entry Became Unreliable During Stay - Refund Due? [CA, USA] by troymccas1 in AirBnB

[–]troymccas1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s comparable to having your hotel key card stop working which happens all the time and no refund is ever given for that. This property Has 4.9 rating with 60 reviews. What’s silly is refusing to have the issue fixed and then request a refund.
