text: Your short term rental is a leading contributor to the lack of affordable rentals for Hawaii's working class that is being completely shut out of the housing market. For you to say that not being able to use your 2nd home as an illegal vacation rental will cause you to have to sell is utter nonsense. You could easily rent it out long term and be quite fine. You also could have easily bought in Waikiki (or other area) that is zoned for such rentals, and stop contributing to the destruction of our neighborhoods.
