Laws, rules and regulations are one thing.
True strict enforcement (especially on the Big Island) can be quite another. Does the County have the resources available to spend on enforcement? Does the County really want to divert its limited funds towards vacation rental regulation and away from other perhaps more pressing matters?
I imagine the County will be watching the vacation rental situation rather closely after the regulations come into effect, but what about a year afterwards. How about 5 years later?
How about people who have friends, former classmates and/or relatives who know the right individuals in County government? Will their vacation rental units face scrutiny?
