Will Lahaina Be The First 15-Minute City?

As we learned with the pandemic, conspiracy theories remain theories for about 3-6 months before they're exposed as being true. We also learned that evil people will take advantage of a crisis, whether they created it or not, to further their agenda. I suspect this crisis is no different. Let's examine, shall we?

First, let's take a look at how Biden responded to reporters when asked about the tragedy. "No comment". How can a leader of a country - any country - respond to the tremendous loss of life and property like that? Either he doesn't care, (very likely), and / or he knows there are plans afoot.

Another question is why did the most state of the art alarm system fail? They're attributing it to downed power lines, but that would only take out the alarm system incrementally, not all at once.

Now don't get me wrong, the federal government is sending food, water and other essentials, but there are some pretty big insults and injustices mixed in with that aid. While Biden is asking Congress for another $40 billion to send to Ukraine, the surviving victims in Lahaina are getting a whopping $700 each from FEMA. That might buy a few days of groceries in that neck of the woods. Add to that, the governor of Hawaii has announced that they will be purchasing the property using Eminent Domain and promising to build work housing or making the area a memorial in honor of those that perished. But it will take a looong time. We all know that if the government seizes property using Eminent Domain that the former homeowners will only get pennies on the dollar. Why are they not letting the insurance companies handle this? And why are they so anxious to snag the property to start with?

As far as timing is concerned, I've seen housing tracts and major shopping centers go up in a few months. Why would building work housing take so long? Unless, of course, they're building something 'innovative' and all-encompassing.  

One of the goals of Agenda 2030 is to implement 15-Minute Cities. They're already experimenting with one in England. Could it be that Lahaina will be our first built-from-scratch experiment? Could be. Washington state and Oregon are incorporating the concept into future build plans, but Lahaina could be used as the shining example. And it would explain why Biden's response was so heartless and why the governor of Hawaii announced the purchase of the land before the crisis is really over.

What is a 15 Minute City?

It makes sense to me. Lahaina is completely destroyed making a new development easier than if they had to demolish it. It was also a small area compared to most cities. All they have to do is clean up and work can begin.

Evidently, I'm not the only one that is thinking along these lines.


I didn't know they recently held a summit to discuss turning Maui into a fully sustainable city completely run by AI. That's pretty big news.
