Her response was that it wasn't practical to try to restrict the practice as enforcement would'nt be possible. Then she is the one who brought forth the bill we have now which allows those who'd been operating illegally to be able to be granted grandfather status. I am confused. But isn't that just The nature of politics, to keep us confused? Apparently it is. If only there could be real people who just want to do the right thing in council instead of politicians who just want to be re-elected. I don't think this system is serving us the way it should. It just keeps on getting dirtier and dirtier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-30958960404852178412013-02-11T12:20:18.884-10:002013-02-11T12:20:18.884-10:00February 9, 2013 at 9:31 AM:

Many of us would not have known (nor bothered to<br />find out) about this illegal TVR that the owner (and their brokers) are going to make big bucks from.<br /><br />Of course the county should follow up on what you've unearthed! BUT the real estate brokers should also be included in the mix of perpetrators of crime and negligence. Brokers have a fiduciary duty to their clients and that means due diligence and full disclosure! The TVR ad is full of misrepresentation that IF the victim's family does sue, the ad speaks volumes. When do we Kauaians get to see/hear a single real estate broker speak up against illegal TVR's? Curses rain not only on the county officials but on all those real estate agents out to make a buck!<br />Thank you for your commitment to the island & to your profession.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-10788209331999886562013-02-10T08:14:10.819-10:002013-02-10T08:14:10.819-10:00February 9, 2013 at 10:03 PM

Thanks Joan for exposing .Seems the owner and/ or the realtor who rented to the family don't want you writing cuz they are quite liable for failing to get permits, maybe that is why they don't want you to focus on that. It's not like they just painted their house, no, they made absolutely dangerous amenities to sell the place as a tourist rental.
