    Sugar was a primary crop on Maui, Hawaii until several years ago when Californian real estate investors started bitching about the controlled fires raining ash on their new condos that they built in the path of the wind. They lobbied the local government to shut down the entire industry, put all those people out of work, and leave the central valley susceptible to UNcontrolled fires.

    Now the island is brown, not green. They destroyed what made it attrractive.

    This is why real estate developers are just as evil as child slavers.
