Thanks for highlighting this issue Joan, it's been ignored way too long and it's past time for the county to enforce upon all of the illegal rentals. The illegal vacation rentals operating outside the VDA are out of control. Residential housing on Kauai already faces severe shortages, we can't afford to allow neighborhoods zones residential to turn to resort. Time for the County to ENFORCE the zoning laws!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-104860425872628442014-12-29T06:02:58.726-10:002014-12-29T06:02:58.726-10:00Don't get me wrong.

At what cost? Yes that is the question. Well no cost as far as I van tell. No cost .Hear that? It's a plus unless you're closed minded like most of you grumblers. It's all reltive. Everyone is in the same boat here on the planet. Everyone has their own problems and blessings. I think of you people and Maakala in the same catagory. She's [refectly willing to sabotage someone by "turning them in" so they loose their income. Iff she can do it. Shut em down you say? Well tell you what. Say who you are and I'll make sure the loacl people who make most of their monthly income from working in my vacation rental. They are grateful. The husband just got laid off up at the golf course. You know gratitude. Me too. I'm grateful as well. You people are just a bunch of hot air spewing complaints. Then anyone who comes in with a positive attitude is pissed on or tried to prove wrong or just plain delusionally dismissed as "the dark side" Fool. I'm the dark side. You all are as well. We all should be all on the same side working together. You people are so far gone from that sentiment. Joan you hate monger. Shame on you. Sure you know :dirt: but again where's your positive spin? You have not much. You're arrogantly talking down to people and making fun of people. I have no respect for you at all other than you're a decent researcher. The rest is Day time soap opera nonsense. No go start picking on AirBnb rentals. And you want my tax bill? Thought not. Tha back off on our situations and concentrate on your own back yards. Give me time I can find dirt on anyone. Like Maakala. She's a real piece of work too. Now go back to trashing people and feel free to jump on me.

Joan…not quite sure what they are doing wrong other than trying to make a living & feed families like everyone else. These TVR laws change every year so every company like Bali Hai, Hawaii Life, Pure Kauai, House Of Dreams, Kauai Vacation Rentals, Parrish Etc…have to change their policies regularly. Did you try communicating with them or do you just ruin peoples live unconsciously. We got much bigger problems on Kauai with GMO, Ice, Cocaine, Poor Education, etc, etc, etc. You know these vacation rentals create thousands of jobs for hard working folks. It ain't all bad…just needs a little tweaking and maybe we can focus on getting our government to take the extra tax revenue they create and allocate some to our schools. That might be more better cause for you….ya think? Sounds to me like your on a Witch Hunt. Two sides to every story. Everyone in America should be provided equal economic and social opportunities. Not so sure you hit the nail on this one….
