Maui changes short term rental laws. Either you sell it or make it long term.

My bet is that the anti-airbnb movement is facilitated/funded by the hotel lobby. The hotels stand to benefit the most.

HarlemCoug

Probably. It's positive for most residents too though.

A lack of Airbnb's will encourage more 2nd home purchases. It hurts residents.

ParentingNotForSissy

May 5, 7:39pm

No it will decrease 2nd home purchases and decrease costs. It will hurt resident

johnnybyu

May 5, 7:56pm

That sucks for the Airbnb owners, but I think I feel worse for the residents.

G.Freeman

People will buy 2nd homes instead of short term renting.

ParentingNotForSissy

May 5, 7:41pm

There will be some but there will much less AirBnb owners. Demand for buying

johnnybyu

May 5, 7:58pm

If vacation rental is rented by 100 groups in a year. It only takes 1 to buy.

ParentingNotForSissy

May 5, 8:04pm

AirBnBs on average compete against hotels and take housing supply away from full

johnnybyu

May 5, 8:17pm

Show me data that accounts for 2nd home purchases. I have not found it.

ParentingNotForSissy

May 5, 8:21pm

Think of the inverse. Your premise makes no sense. Increasing AirBnBs would not

johnnybyu

May 5, 8:24pm

I am thinking about buying a home on the North Shore since there are no airbnbs.

ParentingNotForSissy

May 5, 8:33pm

Again there maybe rare cases where that happens but it is not the norm and makes

johnnybyu

May 5, 8:35pm

Airbnb are the HOV lane. You are trading it for single rider 2nd homes.

ParentingNotForSissy

May 5, 9:04pm

You are comparing your situation to the majority who are just trying to pay for

johnnybyu

May 5, 9:51pm

In vacation and urban areas vacation rentals are highly used.

ParentingNotForSissy

May 5, 11:16pm

Agree AirBnb increase tax revenue and generally use less resources like schools

johnnybyu

May 6, 8:07am

Yes. Airbnbs reduce housing demand and home prices.

ParentingNotForSissy

May 5, 8:24pm

So the solution to the housing shortage is increase Airbnbs? LOL

johnnybyu

May 5, 8:25pm

Short term rentals will be replaced by time share like groups.

ParentingNotForSissy

May 5, 8:05pm

If you are saying time share groups will buy up or create potential neighborhood

It is only applicable to Apartment Zoned Areas..

xarope8

May 5, 5:06pm

Where are those areas? Right on the beach?

kotacoug

May 5, 5:07pm

here's a list of the complexes on the apartment zone list

BYUFBDAD

May 5, 5:09pm

That is fairly small and limited in my opinion.. so many Airbnbs available still

xarope8

May 5, 5:14pm

~100 complexes equals about 7000 short term rentals of about 12,000 total.

BYUFBDAD

May 5, 5:18pm

The fewer available the more those prices are going to be jacked up

kotacoug

May 5, 5:21pm

Those are some massive complexes. Not sure how locals will afford any of those anyway.

JamieTartt

May 5, 5:20pm

What will that mean for the Alii? Most of the Alii is owned and rented out by owner. Does that mean they won’t be

Blue2thebone

May 5, 8:01pm

from what I understand they can only rent on a long term basis, no more short

BYUFBDAD

May 5, 8:08pm

The Alii is the only place we’ve ever stayed

Blue2thebone

May 5, 8:23pm

We stayed at the Ali'i with kids many years ago, really loved the place.

BYUFBDAD

May 5, 8:28pm

Are you sure that the Alii would be affected? It is zoned as a hotel

Blue2thebone

May 5, 8:44pm

no, it's not completely clear the way the guy says it on the video, he refers to

BYUFBDAD

May 5, 8:49pm

Horrible policy…. I hate staying in hotels. Do people want more huge resorts

kotacoug

That was my thought. Been to Maui once at Grand Wailea and planned to return

Put yourself in the shoes of a local resident.

conetah

May 5, 5:11pm

How about residents who just want to buy a home?

Belboz

May 5, 5:11pm

Their economy is based on tourism. Without they they would have to move to the

kotacoug

May 5, 5:14pm

The tourism to Maui was realistically the same 15 years ago when Air BnB didn’t exist

TCuz

May 5, 5:15pm

Huh? Just because it wasn’t called ‘Airbnb’ doesn’t mean people weren’t renting

kotacoug

May 5, 5:18pm

It increased exponentially since Air BnB, which is the point

TCuz

May 5, 5:36pm

Maui visitors stats have been down 15% since last year and and even more since19

kotacoug

May 5, 5:46pm

Can you think of any reasons why? Any major events??

TCuz

May 5, 5:48pm

Perfect time to restrict toursim and allow the if mega resorts to take over some

kotacoug

May 5, 5:53pm

It's okay as long as Black Rock doesn't buy your own neighborhood

Belboz

May 5, 6:38pm

So big companies swoop in and buy all the housing intended for residents

Belboz

May 5, 6:35pm

Yes. Resorts > Air BnBs.

TCuz

May 5, 5:11pm

No Airbnb Condos > resorts

xarope8

May 5, 5:13pm

The best beachfront properties are Airbnb/VRBO townhouse/condos/houses. It looks

kotacoug

May 5, 5:16pm

So, who can afford to buy them? Nobody.

Idacoug

May 5, 5:10pm

It will be interesting to see if prices drop when a bunch come on the market.

maYbe

May 5, 5:24pm

They will have too.

Idacoug

May 5, 5:30pm

Good

conetah

This is great. Good for residents.

Yep limit the tourism dollars coming in. Make people go to Mexico and Florida,

kotacoug

May 5, 5:23pm

Where are the tourism dollars going now - hint, it’s not the locals

May 5, 5:41pm

lol Hawaii is beyond that at this point. There are

kotacoug

May 5, 5:50pm

I just hate the argument the Hawaiians need tourism to survive

May 5, 7:03pm

It’s not a narrative it’s a fact. With the population numbers tourism is

kotacoug

May 5, 7:35pm

Maui doesn't want to be Oahu. That's part of the charm

Belboz

May 5, 6:38pm

Umm Maui is following what Oahu is doing. So basically they are becoming Oahu

kotacoug

May 5, 6:49pm

Oahu is overloaded with people. Maui isn't

Belboz

May 5, 6:56pm

How will it be good for residence who rely upon tourism if it cuts tourism way back?

Blue2thebone

May 5, 8:03pm

Even for locals?

Heath Squashwell

May 5, 5:35pm

It’s a mystery why any city allows vacation rentals in neighborhoods zoned

Jay Kay

May 5, 5:48pm

I don’t know why it’s a problem. You own the property, you decide what to do

BlooCoug

May 5, 6:38pm

Large companies swoop in and turn the neighborhood into a hotel

Belboz

May 5, 6:40pm

I agree it’s a big problem for places like Hawaii and other major travel

BlooCoug

May 5, 6:47pm

Its easy to say that, but its very difficult to plan if every city is a free for

Seems a lot of VRBO folks will be filing suit

May 5, 8:40pm

Palm Springs did this and it has hurt home prices, which is great for those

May 5, 9:07pm

When ever government restricts the market, it ends up hurting all people with

May 5, 9:17pm

What are the unintended consequences?

Jay Kay

May 5, 9:51pm

By far the best solution to a housing shortage is to build more housing. I'm sure fewer apartments will get built now

HarlemCoug

May 5, 9:55pm

Are there unintended consequences to issuing unlimited housing permits in Hawaii
