“I am going to do all that I can to transition short-term rentals to long-term rentals for our local people and that means taxing the heck out of them if people aren’t owners here and on property. We have 52% of our short-term rentals owned by mainland guys, I want them to divest so that local people can either rent or buy those properties. Because right now people are gouging others, they’re getting 400% of their earnings on short-term rentals mostly when they’re in the illegal kind of space as opposed to just regular rent for local families, so that’s the approach that thoughtful and cogent legislatures are taking. I appreciate big ideas, I always have, but we have to do things that are allowed by the constitution.”

The new Air BNB "Aloha Plan".

Aloha ... as in "We don't need no stinking Constitution!" and as in "Good-bye."

Tax all non residents 5x what locals pay. Ez fix.

Vegas, Disney Land, and every other popular vacation destination would agree...

So how does selling short-term rentals  to foreigners "transition to long-term rentals for our local people" ?  :wacko:

We're once again in a massive housing bubble where conventional wisdom has everyone convinced the price will go up forever and nobody wants to recognize that most of their "wealth" is imaginary and about to evaporate.

I feel sorry for all the folks who's mortgages are about to go underwater, but also stoked that a flood of affordable inventory will stick it to the greedy landlords that are currently holding the market hostage.
