entertain traveling where there is the option to stay in a STVR. I am concerned that this <br /> reduction in STVR's will have a negative effect on the economy locally and state wide. And <br /> just to note that my SVTR alone contributed almost$40K dollars in taxes to the state and <br /> county in 2022. <br /> My thoughts related to the use of a detached bedroom as housing for the host with a <br /> hosted STVR. <br /> -I believe it is short sighted not to consider a detached bedroom as a viable living space for the <br /> host with respect to a hosted STVR. The detached bedroom model is a pretty typical living <br /> situation in south kona. There is absolutely no need to have a full kitchen to be able to have a <br /> decent living space with everything you would need to prepare meals. All that is required is a <br /> sink, storage, and either a toaster oven or microwave and maybe a hot plate. And I am pretty <br /> sure that unless you are in an HOA with guidelines to the contrary, that you could live in a tent <br /> on your own property if you wished. <br /> So in closing, I think that I would caution against not taking a middle ground with respect to <br /> the hosted STVR. As hosts,we provide a valuable service to travelers and support our <br /> community with employment and our state with income. And unlike the un-hosted STVR, as a <br /> hosted rental we have much more control over the process. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Bruce Paoli <br /> 4/20/24 <br />
