 Under the proposed legislation, owners of the 7,000 affected units could either sell, convert to long-term rentals, or leave them vacant. Some owners, like Jason Gobi, said they have no plans to convert to a long-term rental. I own a one-bedroom unit at Wanakai in Kihei. The 643 square feet with minimal storage and one parking space really is not suitable for long-term use. In our case, if the ordinance is passed, our unit will not be converted into an affordable long-term rental.
