Nobody likes a bully. Gov. Josh Green, you were elected to govern all of Hawaii’s people equally. Your decisions should be made in a balanced manner with attention given to all sides’ positions. Try getting to the heart of the reason that people don’t want to rent out their units long-term.

Understand the character or nature of Hawaii — full frontal assault never being a workable solution.

As for using the Maui housing need as a long-term solution to wipe out short-term rentals statewide, well, that looks more like a benefit to hotels and the tourist industry than a way to increase housing in the long term.
