    presumably the people actually working in and running the hotels want them there - or else they would be closed

    It might not be up to them. I imagine some places are run by shitty corporate overlords that don’t give two shits about the devastation.

      REITs own a large portion of hotels in Maui, and they’re required by law to do what is most profitable to the shareholders.
