Waialua resident Ken Capes said “he and his wife are very proud public school teachers who will rent part of their home for short-term vacationers. Between mortgage, raising a family, basic bills and groceries, we were in the hole $200 every paycheck, Home sharing via Airbnb gave his family financial hope".  The question I have for Mr. & Mrs. Capes is why can't you rent your studio long term? Certainly, you could get more than the $200 per pay-check you claim you need to survive from a long-term renter? It's rather hard to believe the AirBnB propaganda that all of the illegal vacation rental owners are only breaking the law because that's the only way they can survive. Especially, when you see them drive to the hearing in BMW's and return to their million dollar homes.
