How Mayor Bissen crashed the Maui real estate market & What Bill 88 actually means

Did Mayor Bissen crash the Maui real estate market? And what does Bill 88 actually mean for property owners?

In this video, I break down the timeline behind Bill 9 and Bill 88, how the Minatoya List became the center of Maui's housing debate, and why I believe the real estate market reacted the day the policy was announced—not when it became law.
We'll cover:
Why Maui condo values declined so dramatically
What Bill 9 changed
What Bill 88 does (and doesn't do)
The impact on homeowners, renters, workers, and the local economy
The unanswered questions surrounding Maui's affordable housing strategy
Whether you're a Maui homeowner, vacation rental owner, real estate professional, or simply care about the future of our island, I hope this video provides helpful context so you can better understand what's happened and what's still ahead.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Do you agree with my analysis? Is there another perspective I should consider? Leave a comment below and let's have a respectful conversation.
