Manawai, thank you for putting your foot in your mouth...  According to to the CBRE report; there were 6,804 listings on Airbnb as of January 2017 and According to the Department of Planning and Permitting, there are only 845 legal legal short-term rentals in neighborhoods. That means mathematically at least 88% of Airbnb's listings are ILLEGAL.  Since Airbnb is only the third largest lister of vacation rentals in Hawaii, it's very unlikely they are listing all of the 845 legal rentals.  Best case scenario, they may be listing 50% of them, but more likely they are listing 25% of  the legal rentals.  Conclusively, over 90% of Airbnb's listings are ILLEGAL ! How do you like those apples?
