of people in the neighborhood — only the loudest and nastiest. <br /> I have neighbors who live right next door to me that I talk to frequently. They <br /> check in on my place - they never hear anything out of the ordinary from my <br /> guests. The bullies have created a fictional reality that suits them. Just because <br /> you don't like something does not give you the right to mistreat those who live <br /> outside that fictional reality in the normal world. If there ever was a problem <br /> with my vacation rental I would want to be the first one to know. But when I <br /> get a complaint about someone smoking on the street in front of my house and <br /> it is accompanied by an ALL CAPS "THIS HAS GOT TO STOP" - what am I <br /> supposed to do? This has led me to only listen to the neighbors that are honest <br /> and ignore the rest. <br /> Being the recipient of prejudice stings. I have been threatened. My family <br /> members have been harassed and yelled at. I have called the police and asked <br /> for guidance on how to deal with this continuous harassment. <br /> I am bringing this to the Commission's attention so that you might understand <br /> the unintended consequences that passage of new vacation rental legislation <br /> may create. I would ask that the Commission consider ways to structure Bill <br /> 121 to provide equity for all people. Inequity, as we have seen from our <br /> history, causes division and prejudice and gives rise to the aggressive behavior <br /> that bullies exhibit. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Richard Ingram <br /> Sent from Mail for Windows <br />
