How will new regulations effect you?

Your answer
Which of these arguments against this legislation do you agree with the most? ( Pick 3 )
There is no compelling reason for the regulations.
I'm able to earn more money cleaning rentals than I can anywhere else. This will hurt my family.
The regulations are onerous and expensive.
Existing regulations are sufficient to regulate homestays.
Agritourism is a critical funding source for local food security.
In the United States we have the right to participate in our local economy as capital owners.
What I do in my home is none of the governments business as long as I'm not bothering anyone or hurting the environment.
Local government is already under-resourced and adding additional duties will just make the problem worse.
I make my living as a service provider in this industry and fear it will cost me my livlihood.
This is clearly a power grab by hotels who seek to continue colonialism by exporting our tourism dollars to the mainland.
Affordable housing is a huge problem but not because of hosted vacation rentals. This legislation distracts from the real problem - incompetence at the state and local level.
There have been practically no complaints about hosted rentals. This legislation is a solution in search of a problem.
The affordable housing office is already embroiled in a corruption scandal. This legislation is just another opportunity for corruption and paid influence.
I already pay nearly half of my revenue in taxes and fees. I follow the rules. This bill unfairly targets my business with little or no benefit.
This bill will force me to leave the island.
Any housing stock made available by homeowners fed up with regulation will simply end up in the hands of mainland investors.
I have the right to earn a living without unnecessary interferance by local government.
My farm depends on this income as part of our business. Without it I will be forced to stop farming.
I've been hosting guests for years. It is part of my retirement plan. Without this income I fear I'll lose my home.
I will lose my home if this legislation passes as written.
I will have to lay off employees.
There is no path in this legislation for my business to continue. If it passes I may have to leave the island.
This bill will increase the division between rich and poor.
I already pay enough taxes. The county ran a surplus last year. I earned my money and unless there is a compelling need, I deserve to keep it. There is no compelling need.
Hawaii County should be focused on core services like water sewer public safety transportation and infrastructure. None of those services are well managed today. Quit distracting county staff and focus on delivering the services we are paying for.
The county's affordable housing office embezzled $11 million from the affordable housing program and auditors found huge problems with the office. Focus on cleaning up your own mess and leave me and my family alone.
This type of legislation is why we can't have nice things.
The county's bus system is so broken that kids can't even get to school. Focus on providing core services like a working bus system and leave those of us who are just trying to earn a living alone.
Hosted rentals are the only way I can make ends meet. I'm deeply fearful of what will happen to my family if it is taken away.
The permitting and planning offices have huge backlogs already. Adding to their workload is just going to make our housing situation worse.
Regulating our industry without commissioning an independent study to understand the potential impact is negligent.
