Yeah that sort of "property rights" conservatism doesnt apply here. Responsibility supercedes profit motive. When you're dealing with a very narrowly habitable closed ecosystem, property rights can F right off into the sun. Land here is leased, not owned, and nobody wants Lahaina replaced with yet another boring, bland, beige painted travertive tiled white guy hangout with obligatory Gaugin knockoffs depicting hula girls and Kamehamehas. You dont displace housing with resort ****holerie. I know that conservatives have no grasp of the concept of responsibility, and that's why they never last here.
So yes, celebrities and governorship alike have aligned to stop the vultures.
