If you like staying at Hawaii vacation rentals, there are more big changes upcoming.
From reading your comment it seems to say everyone has to bear your burden of incompetence that you never accomplished anything in your life. McDonalds and fast food restaurants were supposed to be for students/Teenagers to have an income, not to make a career working at McDonalds. I am born and raised in Hawaii and grew up poor but I said to myself, I will never live like that again. So please think before you write.
Please don’t respond, I wont read it.
Its our given right to do as we see fit with our properties.
Did any of you consider that maybe the County is trying to squash the plethora of vacation rentals because us locals can’t find a place to live? I have a friend, been in Hawaii 20 years, has to move to the mainland because she cannot even find housing, much less is it affordable. Do the right thing, turn your vacation rental into housing for those of us who live here otherwise you won’t have any local resources to work in the stores, restaurants, McDonalds, etc….then don’t complain when you try to go to McDonalds and it’s closed because no can find enough workers to keep open. COVID brought too many moved here, rents went up, gas went up, food went up…our salaries did not go up.
It looks like the county and or state of Hawaii is trying to capture as much money as they can in the way of fees and taxes. Since tourism is their number one industry I can understand why. However Hawaii needs to identify and make transparent how that money is being used and it should improve the infrastructure and services offered that benefit residents and tourists alike.
I was just informed by my STR owner that our reservation that we made 4 months ago for Maui must now be cancelled. Why? Because my family of 8 (my wife of 24 years, 6 children and me) is now considered persona non grata by the government of Maui. This is the second time our vacation to Maul has been cancelled (our 8 year-old tested positive for COVID the day before departure last year…of course, she never had a symptom but we had to cancel all of our plans at the last minute and some very disappointed children and frustrated parents…) So sick of the lunacy and corruption. This decision is short-sighted and has poisoned me against visiting HI ever again. Unless the Tourism Board can convince me otherwise I’ll take my money elsewhere.
I’m not sure I understand. Did they say Why you were now persona non grata?
If the state and counties want to make it vacation rentals illegal (but they can’t, that’s against our rights as an American citizen) then they should give us landlords the right to evict when people after the 30 day notice to leave and be able to have the cops remove the people from the residence at the end of that 30 day notice expiration date.
Also if taken to court for damages and back payment the county where the property resides on should give us landlords the power to secure our homes against long term damages resulting in loss of money per month and go after these individuals to force payment, I had to chase down a person that I won the case but the court told me I had to chase them down and the county won’t. Why are paying taxes
