Increase in "Off Resort" Vacation Rentals on Kauai

In a recent article in The Honolulu Advertiser's Kauai People weekly, statistics were quoted showing considerable growth in the number of visitors that are staying in "off-resort" properties. Ironic, isn't it... that the County is cracking down on vacation rentals, while the visitor demand is growing? Our local economy has struggled since transforming from an agricultural island to a vistor destination.

If the County really wanted to address density, then perhaps they shouldn't so easily approve the many large timeshare developments. Maybe I'm a little slow - but the logic escapes me.
