For residents of and visitors to Maui, historic Wailuku is a panorama of the historical currents in architecture. Wailuku boasts architectural forms representative of most post-missionary arrival styles. In addition to the cor- nucopia of architecture, the Kalana o Maui Building (the county building) is the only building above the four-story height restriction. Maui has been part of a larger trajectory of Hawai‘i toward overdevel- opment. When the democrats came to power at the end of the 1950s and Hawai‘i became a state, capital flooded in from every direction. This allowed some of the land to be freed up for development — with local poli- ticians and business people connected to the wealthy. Politically, prominent leaders argued that lots of mini-development by average local people was OK. After all, it serves a social good within the context of a capitalist system — allowing the large Big Five to develop on a massive scale would not serve a social good. Young voters few, scattered So, now, we are the inheritors of Kihei’s and Makiki’s, Waikiki’s and Pearl Cities. This has truly been a history of developers gone wild.
