Aloha. Lived over 20 years in Hawaii. It will always be my heart home. Know the home in Waimanalo and beach (🙏🏻) where the Obamas are settling. After a scan of the comments, I felt compelled to chime in. First, it’s the Obamas, remember? Barack was born on Oahu. He is Hawaiian at heart. I cannot think of anyone more pono to the land than him for ownership of this beachfront. They will cherish and care for 5e land. Second, it’s none of our business, but read the history of the leasehold he purchased. It came with prior authorization from Hawaii for that wall. I say back off, let them enjoy their life when on island, they deserve it. Mahalo nui
I would love to live on that land that the Obama’s have. How fortunate for them. I’m happy to see him enjoying life. Enjoy that beachfront view!
Amazing how those that force the rest of us to live under crazy wetland laws on the mainland ..can get waivers to do Far more damage!!
The fact the preservation was not explored is extremely disheartening.
Well the Obama’s have this iconic property (destroyed) and the Trumps have Mar largo. Is there a difference? They are all the same.
I can’t believe that preservation was not explored.
Amazing how quickly it happened.
The incredible landscape ..vegetation..all gone.
We call that clear cutting. Its sad.
Very rarely done any longer.
Especially for such a beloved landmark!
A Heartbreaker. Been driving by that place since 1964 and not a fan of the new project. A long way from shopping and on the rainy windward side but forever in my memory.
Anything that is Not preserving the shoreline as a natural occurrence should not be allowed. No matter who wants to build it. I’ve seen what these sea walls have done even over the last 19 years to west Maui shorelines & its devistating.
Phillips times…the Obamas…historic register notwithstanding, this building should have been preserved.
God only knows what abomination of a dwelling will replace it…
Oy Vey!!!!!!!
Aloha BoH!
On my first visit to beautiful Oahu over 20 years ago, we visited Waimanalo Beach and snorkeled in the waters offshore. Was very surprised and blessed to happen upon a large sea turtle gracefully swimming yards away from me! After all these years, it’s still one of my favorite memories of that trip.
Also exciting was seeing the “Magnum PI” house. Praying true care and concern is given to preserving the fragile seascape and its dependent sealife.
Mahalo BoH for all you do!!!
Hi Lisa.
Thanks. Appreciate your input. That’s a favorite beach for both of us and has been for decades.
Aloha.
It is so sad to see what was a treasure decimated for one family. Why can’t people just enjoy things as they are. I can see updating to be able to use current technology and whatever needs repair structurally (why buy it if you’re just gonna tear it down) but to tear down all that beautiful old vegetation just for some elaborate home that is way more than any family needs just breaks my heart.
Amen!
the obamas are climate change hypocrates.
Exactly!!!
No one has mentioned the fact that the sea wall is probably necessary for security.
I was just thinking this, but I haven’t seen it mentioned elsewhere either! Not that I’m agreeing it should be used for that purpose, but it makes sense for them to keep the beach smaller there so no one is lounging around.
No, the sea wall is there to prevent erosion and in 2022, we now know that the sea walls actually contribute to complete erosion of sandy beaches. Security has nothing to do with the sea wall as One cannot own the high water mark.
If you are a climate change alarmist and, as such, are afraid of “rising ocean levels”, why in the world would buy an expensive property overlooking the ocean?
