The Honolulu City Council voted Wednesday to approve a bill that would ban any short-term vacation rentals outside of resort areas.
"We live here, we work here, and we want to play here. And we don't want to feel subordinated that we've wholesaled Hawaiʻi for the retail business where a bunch of people don't even put money into local bank accounts," Blangiardi said, according to the network.
Rental companies, including Airbnb, have urged officials to honor an agreement that allows for a lottery to win vacation rental permits in some residential areas.
