Dear Ladies/Gentlemen:
I am a full time resident and land owner in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. My income in my retirement
is from Vacation Rentals that
I own in Hawaii. Please do not remove vacation rentals from the Big Island. We would not
have money to live on in our retirement if you
remove the vacation rentals permits.
Yes there is a shortage of long term rentals in Hawaii, but the government needs to resolve
these issues and not put the problem
on land owners that rely on this income. I own long term rental on the Big Island and it has
made me aware that most of the people living
on this island are underpaid and have bad credit, therefore can't afford market rate rental
prices. Therefore landowners are forced to rent to
tenants from the mainland that have good income and good credit.
The government needs to build affordable housing for the underpaid hawaiians and/or offer a
larger section 8 program. There must
be other solutions!
