FIXING HAWAI`IʻS HOUSING CRISIS ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE"
"Fixing Hawai`iʻs Housing Crisis - A Visit With Peter Savio"
Many decades ago Singaporeʻs leaders arrived on an official visit to discover how Hawai`i had become so successful achieving a high rate of residential home ownership at very affordable prices. These officials were so impressed they took Hawai`iʻs model back home, replicated it and today Singapore is a very prosperous and wealthy nation. Yet today in Hawai`i homes are unaffordable, many Hawaiians and others have moved away and the ones still here are renters who work multiple jobs just to make ends meet. To find out why, we spent the day with real estate developer Peter Savio. Peter lost no time in explaining to us where Hawai`i went wrong and how it can be fixed. He should know because as Hawai`iʻs only affordable housing real estate developer his goal is to put Hawai`iʻs residents into home ownership. Donʻt miss our amazing visit with Peter as he explains how affordable housing can be built for Hawaiians and others, making residents financially independent instead of dependent - Watch It Here

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - OCTOBER 2024
Our Land, Our Inheritance
One of the most profound expressions of who we are as a people is found in Queen Liliʻuokalani’s open letter that begins with, “Oh, honest Americans… ” It was her direct appeal to the American people to do what’s morally right and speak out for the return of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Although her letter makes many profound points, I will concentrate on one particular passage… “…do not covet the little vineyard of Naboth's, so far from your shores, lest the punishment of Ahab fall upon you, if not in your day, in that of your children, for "be not deceived, God is not mocked."
As she often did, Queen Liliʻuokalani cited a passage from the Bible. In this instance, 1 Kings 21:1-24 that told of the deceitful way King Ahab and his evil wife Jezebel framed and executed a man, Naboth, so they could take his land which he had refused to sell to them… The reason Naboth wouldn’t sell the land was, he regarded it as his inheritance and a blessing, not a piece of commercial real estate. He had inherited the land from his forefathers and his kuleana was to make it productive (which is why Ahab wanted it) and then pass it on to his (Nabobʻs) children and descendants.
By citing this story, Queen Liliʻuokalani goes to the heart of the difference in how Hawaiians, as opposed to Americans and other colonizers, regard land. Hawaiians and other native peoples see land as an inheritance that comes from Akua with the kuleana (responsibility) to mālama (care for) so that it can bless them and their future generations. To our kūpuna, just like Naboth, land is not a commodity that can be bought and sold for instant gratification or to build empires, it was to bring and sustain abundant life and future generations.
When King Kamehameha III issued the Hawaiian Bill of Rights in 1839 and promulgated the Hawaiian Kingdom Constitution in 1840, instruments that are Western in form, he was careful to infuse them with Hawaiian values of kuleana, malama ʻāina, ola i ka wai, aloha ʻāina. When he redistributed the lands from traditional rights — where he as King had absolute rule over all the lands — he put the lands of Hawaiʻi (except for a little needed for the government) into the western system of private ownership, but with a caveat: that those lands would be held in perpetuity. Whether the King, chiefs or commoners held the title, these privately owned lands could not be sold outside of the family, their heirs and descendants.
Furthermore, customary international law holds that in the event of a regime change, internal or conquest or annexation by a foreign power, only the government lands would forfeit to the new government. Privately owned lands would remain in the hands of the title owner. Thus, by placing the lands of the Hawaiian Archipelago into the western legal system of private land ownership, King Kamehameha III safeguarded Hawaii’s lands from being sold outside the family or being seized in the event of an invasion, an annexation (lawful or fake) or certainly, an illegal occupation.
So why have we been dispossessed of our lands? Because every step of taking and pillaging of the Hawaiian Islands by the United States was done with total disregard of all laws except those the US imposed for its own benefit and purposes. Even today, Hawaiians’ lands are being stolen and Hawaiian are being evicted by corrupt judges weilding corrupt State of Hawaii laws.
The hope we have is that soon the tables will turn and a day of reckoning will come, the lands restored… and the punishment of Ahab fall upon the wrong doers.
“Love of country is deep-seated in the breast of every Hawaiian, whatever his station.” — Queen Liliʻuokalani

Also Is Agritourism & Indigenous Tourism An Answer For Hawaii?, Why Hidden Farms In Hawaii Kai Could Be Key To Food Sustainability, We Also Explain How The United Nations Can Help Set Hawaii Free & The Power Of Hula In Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o
The October “Free Hawaii News” airing tonight, Friday October 4th at
6 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu and online at http://FreeHawaiiNews.com reports on why both agritourism and indigenous tourism could be solutions for Hawaiiʻs troubled tourist industry.
“The COVID pandemic showed us why Hawaii desperately needs new models of tourism going forward. Agritourism as well as indigenous tourism are successful in other island nations throughout Oceania and look like they could also be a good fit here,” says Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong. “We have a report from Hawaii Island on how agritourism and indigenous tourism could succeed in Hawaii and what it would take to set them up here.”
We also feature a report on a little known fact that Hawaii Kai has operating farms which are currently struggling to stay on the land there and why they could play a key, out-sized role in helping to solve Hawaiiʻs long-standing food sustainability issue. “We were able to bring in to our Free Hawaii News studio one of the individuals who has been farming their land in Kamilonui Valley for decades and she explains to us why itʻs so critical that farming continues there,” reports Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu.
We also cover why Maui residents want building mansions for millionaires stopped in itʻs tracks and a Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o segment which showcases the amazing power of hula in Hawaiiʻs culture.
