    I think it’s great that our local boy (born and raised here) gets to live in one of the most beautiful spots on our island. He came from humble beginnings, made us all proud, and deserves to come home to a dream spot that he probably watched as a young boy.

    I was such a fan of the original Magnum PI with Tom Selleck and the rest of the cast. I lived in Hawaii during that time and really loved seeing the filming at different times and even running into different cast members occasionally. I’m not a fan of the new Magnum PI… I just can’t wrap my mind around Higgins being a female. I’m also not as warm and fuzzy with the new other cast members. I just wish they would have called it something else, then maybe I could’ve warmed up to it more. But always like watching most anything that’s filmed in Hawaii anyway.

    OK, I’m a Mainlander (until next year when we move to Kauai), but I am curious to know what has President Obama ever done for Hawaii in general, or specifically, Oahu? Maybe I just don’t know. It seems to me he’s more tourist now than Kamaaina. Aloha

      He was born and raised in Oahu. He’s moving Back home. Welcome Present Obama and Family.

    The new program has much greater use of new technology. The production values are night and day.

    If he has the money, as long as they do try to obstruct access to the ocean why not. The reboot of Magum PI I have more problems with. Any TV shows shot in Hawaii is good for Hawaii but unlike the H5O reboot I find no charisma in the relationships, characters I am not interested in and really a wasted opportunity. I guess Hawaiian Eye is next or maybe Gilligan’s Island with more location shooting.

    So sad that another beautiful home had to be completely destroyed and could not at least be partially preserved. My childhood home in Waialae suffered the same fate. Beautiful old-Hawaii home on the golf course. On the other hand, it’s belongs to the owner, but sad that outsiders don’t have any sensitivity to the history and the past.

    In the 70’s that house belonged to a friend of mine’s aunt. We were teenagers and were always thrilled if we got a chance to spend part of a day there. We didn’t get to go out there much, but it was fun knowing that we had a connection to such an iconic part of what people remember about Hawaii.

      I don’t think we need any negativity here.

      I actually love all the information Beat of Hawaii provides, plus all the fun articles like this.

      Aloha

      It’s amazing that a community organizer and public servant can afford such a property. I need to start working in the nonprofit and government sector so I can afford multimillion dollar properties.

      Why would it be disgraceful? Is it because you don’t agree with his political views? This isn’t a forum for politics.

      Just asking…is it the fact that the Obama family would reside there or are you against any family residing there? Someone is going to live there, since it is owned privately.

      President Obama is respected & loved around the world. He is not scandalous or an embarrassment. He is Moving Back home where he was born and raised. His Star has not been tarnished.

    Just curious if the historical review change in 2015 was modified behind the scenes to allow the rich/famous to modify or demolish what they want.

      Yes, it’s very interesting that the house was sold the same year the rule was changed. Martha, I think you are right!
