Aloha, ta'rc i
Definition of residential from Wiktionary:
(_
residential
1. Of or pertaining to a place of personal residence or to a location for such places.
They live in a residential neighborhood.
2. Used as a residence or by residents.
3. Of or pertaining to residency.
Residential neighborhoods existed on the Big Island long before short-term vacation rentals—which are
businesses—came along. People managed to live in residential neighborhoods and work in the
surrounding area without vacation rentals for many, many years.
There are areas zoned for tourist accommodations (such as the resorts and business districts of
cities/towns)to welcome visitors vacationing on the Big Island.
