  1. There should be no tourists in Lahaina, and rebuilding should be done with caution, to prevent exploitation, but residents DO want to rebuild, correct? And the Island depends upon tourism for much of its economy, no? Do not MOST Hawaiians WANT business to return to normal? Do not survivors WANT Lahaina to be rebuilt, ASAP??? Do they not want to return to their lives? I say the key will be government support, by which I mean financial support, most of which should be in the form of grants, enough to rebuild houses. Loans should be provided to rebuild businesses, and funding should also be provided to rebuild and modernize infrastructure. Basically, the government should provide enough assistance to put Lahaina back on the map, to restore it to something close to what it was. Why should the government do so much? I say, because it FAILED the residents of that community. It needs to make amends, with the survivors. The least it can do is rebuild the homes that were lost.
