@Dondonsurplage, bro you are spot on. Same for the Oahu Leeward side. Burned out cars, entire living rooms, appliances everywhere. Locals do this and it’s so sad. Then I, a white person, get crapped on like I don’t belong here. Oh really? Lol
Still love it here tho!!!!

As someone that lived on Maui for 32 years, I can tell you it is not the visitor that desecrates the islands. All you have to do is drive to an area which is primarily where locals live and you will find trash, abandoned vehicles and appliances tossed on the side of the road.

Go to any local beach and instead of packing out the trash, most locals leave it piled up on the ground next to the already full trash can.

If your car window is smashed and your belongings stolen, don’t look at the visitor. It is always a local.

When the locals start respecting the aina, that is when I will start defending them.
