Fires devastated Hawaii in August 2023 thanks to the incompetence of the Democratic politicians who run the state. That same incompetence has the rebuilding effort moving at a glacial pace 22 months later.

According to the dashboard run by Maui County, 26 homes have been rebuilt in the 22 months since the fires. A total of 429 building permits have been issued but not completed, meaning the Aloha State is averaging just under 21 approved permits per month when counting the already completed homes. Another 329 permits are still being processed, meaning that, at the current pace, the last of them would be approved by October 2026.
