Subject: New laws -
It is not a new law, it is redefining every word possible that can protect our rights as homeowners. I have paid for my homes
and you are trying to go against the constitution. It has been studied and proven by reports on Oahu that it does not address
the housing issue for low income individuals. Most STR owners are retired. Individual supplementing their income.They are
not open to renting long-term due to the individual rights of renters in the state of Hawaii.There are multiple accounts of
landlords having difficulties collecting rent and/or removing individuals when they breach their contract.This is a serious issue
in Hawaii and will only get worse with the new STVR proposed rules. Tourism is a necessity for Hawaii.The cheapest hotel is
about$300 a night and adding the cost of food and gas on the island almost make it impossible for families to visit. Redefining
words we have used for years to fit your agenda is wrong in every way possible. I pay exorbitant taxes for my homes and I
don't appreciate the government.Trying to take away my rights.Space if I wanted that I would live in a communistic country. I
strongly oppose this,thank you.
