Waimanalo has always been a favorite beach, and it looks like a former president feels the same way. Why is this so mired in controversy?

Strange how all the biggest climate change fear mongers are just fine with building mansions at sea level. I guess Obama really does believe he has “stopped the rise of the oceans”.
How do all the politicians become one percenters? What a bunch of hypocrites.
I’m no supporter of the former President – just the opposite. But, the article gave no proof that sea walls are environmentally destructive just an assertion. The beaches on Oahu are in a constant state of erosion and then sand is brought in – no sea walls involved. It’s nature’s way.
Let the former President enjoy his retirement – keep him away from DC where he can only do mischief. Hey, maybe he’ll run for Governor – hard to be worse than Ige.
Where is the current “Robin’s Nest” located?
The Obama’s are out of touch with reality. It would have been impressive to see him do what’s right per the Environmentalists. Pretty sure they know what they’re talking about. Especially since they boast their support of the climate and environment. Rules for thee, not for me…
Hey Jennifer, do you really think the Obama’s have an inkling on what’s going on with their new mansion? Doubt it, but they should. Not sure how nice a neighbor they would be except to the other elitists they hob nob with.
Just another example of the elites doing whatever they want talking out of both sides of the mouth. No this isn’t political, because they use politics to divide us.
Aloha Rob and Jeff. Wow. Have been a Magnum PI and Hawaii 5-O fan since the beginning. Am available for housekeeping, gardening etc. Oh yes. Sunset cruise on Holo Holo last night was fantastic 😊. Tonight Hukilau for birthday dinner. Leave tomorrow ( too soon). But will be back as always. Mahalo for the article.
Hi Debra.
Glad you enjoyed and please come back again soon!
Aloha.
I can understand the angst that seawalls may cause beach erosion. I also see the support for the other side, including precedent. I have looked at this issue and it is murky. Beyond that, if the home’s buyers followed the laws in purchasing it then that is done. The prior owner obviously used laws that supported them. Most people would. If there is a complaint, it should be at the Legislature/DLNR for not changing things. We live in a capitalist country and that can be good and bad.
This is the best comment on this whole thread. Everyone followed the laws! If the law is wrong – change it!
Of course he named it Waimanalo Paradise, because he doesn’t want to pay taxes on it. It is probable turned into a non-profit type of estate, the same way Hillary Clinton avoids paying taxes by donating all of her income to her own “Clinton Foundation”, and then spends it. Nothing new here but corruption and avoidance of taxes by the elitists.
What about her emails??? LOL, you made this very partisan but in fact there is
elitism on both sides of the isle. Graft, dishonesty and nepotism is at a whole new level and added hate to the mix, but it’s always existed.
I think Barack needs to pay for a restoration of the historic site he just demolished, kick his friends out, and make a public apology to the state of Hawaii. How dare he demolish Robin’s Nest. Man, I’ve loved him for years, but I’m done now. Whoa.
As they say, there goes the neighborhood…..
If you haven’t been there, literally across the street are homeless American’s, some living in tents and others in abandoned vehicles…kinda wondering where they will be moved off to once construction is finished. Doubt the Obama’s want them for neighbors as he did little/nothing to help them. I hope other Hawaii homeless join the Obama’s in their new neighborhood…haha. Maybe then he will truly bring hope and change.
