Comment: It is disheartening to see a rebuild permit issued for a house that is already up to code and in excellent condition, particularly when other permits have been languishing for years. The decision to reissue a permit for a residence that does not require it raises questions about the priorities and fairness of the process. It appears as though the current reissuance was chosen to showcase Maui County's efficiency and responsiveness, while neglecting the backlog of permits that have been pending for an extended period. This selective approach not only undermines the credibility of the rebuilding process but also highlights the need for greater transparency and equitable treatment for all residents in similar situations.
