AIRBNB INVESTORS!  If I can get four times (4X) the normal residential rental rates for listing a condo or home on AIRBNB, these prices are very reasonable because the rate of return (15% or more) on my investment is much better than a CD at a bank or even the stock market.  Anyone thinking the vacation rental market that AIRBNB is exploiting in Hawaii is just helping tutu stay home is delusional.  

It is only business, get use to it. After all, you don't see AIRBNB listing a lot farms in Iowa, because the money is made in only those markets where people want to go.  In other words, AIRBNB is simply exploiting the Hawaii residential market because it can get away with it.  Violating the local laws is just another way to make money for these internet bandits.
