Long thread here, but please read and retweet.

"Maui is one of the 'scariest opportunities for gentrification' that she’s seen because of 'the very high land values & intense level of trauma & people who are unscrupulous who will come in to try to take advantage of that.'"
So sad, yet predictable. Tourism will do its share.
One expert predicted developers and investors will research who has mortgages and start cold-calling Maui residents. “You won’t be able to go to a grocery store without a flyer attached to your car,” she said. f-st.co/68PBKjs

After Berlin’s supposed lioness debacle last week, one needs to beware of all types of wild animals.
Berlin’s lioness still on the loose, source still unknown.

Very sad. The Alt Rixdorf Christmas market was one of my favorites as it had a non-commercial/local feel thanks to its stands from NGOs/associations, schools, fire departments, etc. selling food or handmade items to raise money for their org. Thankfully, I went last year.
