The new ‘countryside sounds and smells law’ aims to give more protection to existing farms from newly arrived residents in the area.

    And yet, there it is: an ugly, brown, dead central valley.

    You will never, ever win this one. Sit down. And stop trying to make your point with the August fire and not the dozens and dozens before then. The area around Hansen road is still charred.

      I don’t need to win anything with you. As long as other readers come along and understand that you’re full of shit regarding the overall state of Maui, or at the very least extremely confused about the facts here, that’s enough. You’re probably one of those who think the Olinda and Kula fires were started by a laser, and there’s absolutely no talking sense into those people.

      edit: You’re the one who’s complaining about controlled vs uncontrolled fires related to irrigation or lack thereof. The only “uncontrolled” ones were in August, all the other previous ones since the cane has been gone were handled quickly, because again, easy access. So apparently your definition of uncontrolled is loose at best. You act like there were no random fires when the cane was still growing, which is absolutely false. Plenty of unscheduled burns by vandals in the fields, which weren’t easy for the fire dept to put out.

          Got sad news for you, brah… the cane fields are never coming back. Doesn’t matter how much you whine about it, and all the people enjoying cleaner air unpolluted by burning pvc don’t care that you’re upset about it. Get over it and get on with your life. Or don’t. It doesn’t really matter. What you want will never happen.

            Yes, I know. Now all our eggs are in one basket, and with Lahaina gone. Congrats!
