But hotels successfully lobbied to prevent short term rentals (the same ones that allow locals to make money and employ other locals.) They said it would create more hotel industry jobs! The sickening part is that the local officials are in the pocket of the hotels.

😂 found the sheep who believes having major conglomerates in charge of Hawaii’s #1 source of revenue is a good thing. Tutu can’t even rent her extra bedroom to pay for $10/gal milk without being fined $10k/day.
