Excerpt: This infrastructural fragility is a direct result of Gary's economic decline and systemic neglect. Following the collapse of the local steel industry, the city lost a massive portion of its tax base, leaving it with fewer resources to modernize its municipal systems. While wealthier, predominantly white suburbs were able to invest in more resilient, modern underground infrastructure, Gary's outdated above-ground systems were left to decay.

A new (first!) granddaughter, the work of rebuilding Lahaina in Maui, an old family boat, artificial intelligence, and a shape-shifting plant—this week’s Love Letter from Andrew takes a look at some of the ways people, rowboats, and plants adapt to a changing world.

This letter highlights another group in Hawai’i, the Lahaina Community Land Trust. Three years after the devastating 2023 wildfires, the Lahaina Community Land Trust on Maui is fighting back against displacement by ensuring Lahaina’s future belongs to its people, not billionaires. Led by a dedicated group of women, LCLT has already secured 24 pieces of ʻāina, protected 10 homes, and helped five families rebuild.

Their innovative "Keep Lahaina Home" program goes further, bridging insurance gaps so families can rebuild while retaining their equity, all under a permanent deed restriction that guarantees affordability for local families in perpetuity.

So far, this initiative supports 60 family members—including 22 children and seven elders—who represent a combined 1,685 years of living in Lahaina. By securing both the land and the financial means to stay, LCLT is preserving not just houses, but generational knowledge and community identity. It’s proof that grassroots action can shield a community from the forces of displacement and profit.
