gmkhawaii, the issue is not vacation rentals. The issue is having mini-hotels in residential zoning. The purpose of residential zoning is to provide housing for residents, not hotel rooms for tourists. Every home that is illegally used as a hotel is one less home that could supply housing for our residents. The simple solution to this problem is enforce our zoning laws properly and allow vacation rentals to proliferate in resort zoning. If areas or communities want more vacation rentals, rezone parcels into resort zoning by following a land-use change due process.
