Council to consider regulating vacation rentals

Then they should fail in the free market without expensive regulations, unless what's really happening is taxation of real estate speculators (who don't actually have to participate in our market, and are already paying extra for that privilege).

I see most of these vacation rentals in Puna as being owned as a second house, possibly for their later retirement. They use them as a way to keep the house maintained until they are able to retire to it.
