Someone who can confound the locals (I think Zuck may be going this route):Regardless... all involved are hurting... except the realtors.
Who CAN buy that house and live in it?
spit my coffee out when I read this.They do, but East Asians don't have GoPros on everything.
My friend grew up in Echo Park in the late 70s early 80s when it was the hood.WOW Leimert park is $1.3M??! Granted I went to college in LA 20+ years ago, but Wow.
too easy cuz, dey get ono grinds an cute chicks li datBack on topic, why do the native Hawaiians never hand out cracks to the East Asians or other races swamping them, driving up costs, and making them move to the mainland?
I have a guey from San Diego who's on Molokai nowI have like 5 friends of hispanic descent (one is a Japanese/hispanic mix) that are just nasty, loud and belligerent island locals. All out of Ventucky. I was staying with a haole friend over there a few years back and he's going "how do you know these people?!?!?" According to him they were some of the scariest MFers on the Island. One I tried to pick a fight with. (I hadn't seen him in 20 years) He went from threatening me in pigin so thick I could barely understand him to college educated whispers of "You can't talk to me like that around here..." when he finally recognized me.
O'rale vatto!!
I have had mixed feelings/thoughts when reading his books.Paul Theroux occationally writes about the tribalism, anti-intellectualism, and xenophobia in Hawaii.
Molokai folks have a storied history of battling the US of A for the island of Kaho'olawe and getting it returned to it's people of Hawaii. Not sure if the pitched resonance still applies but they've removed the Super Ferry and Norwegian Cruise Lines from being able to visit "their Island." Tight community, small island, Halawa Valley is beautiful and serene, west side surfing can be fun. Local Dr. Emmet, is an old Friend and participant of the earlier movement. I have relatives there that I have never met. Covid is a bitch, when wanting to just travel ~I have a guey from San Diego who's on Molokai now
he seems pretty well integrated...he says I can visit
somehow more scared of that than visiting ogro in cartelville

Mixed Race Pie is playing the long game. Pac Man will choke.too easy cuz, dey get ono grinds an cute chicks li dat
Violently attacking someone is not the answer, but Yeah, save the woe is me victim - just trying to fix up a lil ol house in Hawaii on the beach with my sick wife.... you got multiple security cameras and carrying a firearm illegally (I'm assuming he wasn't licensed in Hawaii as he just moved there).They did. Article said they bought sight unseen.
I have a hard time buying the sick wife claim. People with a sick spouse with something like MS don't buy properties sight unseen and just decide to move there. Especially when they have children. They also don't carry a gun and put up security cameras. He had to have known he was in the wrong part of town if he felt the need to carry a gun and have cameras.
My guess is he was doing what people who buy things sight unseen do. Trying to flip it into a money making operation.
There is almost always more to the story in thsese situations.Violently attacking someone is not the answer, but Yeah, save the woe is me victim - just trying to fix up a lil ol house in Hawaii on the beach with my sick wife.... you got multiple security cameras and carrying a firearm illegally (I'm assuming he wasn't licensed in Hawaii as he just moved there).
You're going to fix up that haggard roof yourself? And the deck? With your sick wife and kids in the house? Riiiiiight.
best not mention the sex and drugs issues...There is almost always more to the story in thsese situations.
Bank repo sounds correct; OP article says foreclosure. Dunno shite about real estate though.Who was selling the house? An ex local? Bank repo?
