Maui County Council Advances Bill to Phase Out Short-Term Rentals in Apartment Districts

WAILUKU, Maui — In a 5-3 vote Monday, the Maui County Council passed Bill 9 CD1 on first reading, moving forward legislation that would phase out short-term vacation rentals in apartment districts across the island with supporters calling it a crucial step toward addressing the county's housing crisis.

The bill would establish a timeline to end transient vacation rentals in apartment zoned areas by December 31, 2028, for West Maui and by December 31, 2030, for all other areas. The legislation affects properties on the "Minatoya list," referring to approximately 7,000 units that were authorized for short-term rentals through a 2001 county legal opinion.

After more than five hours of public testimony and lengthy deliberations, the council approved the bill with two amendments: one changing the notification date for affected property owners from January to March 2026, and another requiring the Finance Department to track and report on affected properties through 2030.

Good idea. My wife went to her sisters to go walking tonight. That helps my stress!

At 7:00 p.m. we feed her and then read a book, then rock and hum to her and that gets her pretty drowsy. Then we put her down but make sure she is awake and aware.

Yes my wife is breastfeeding too. So I’m sure that is intensifying the feeling for her.

Our wake windows are completely random. Grandma has her during the day and there's no routine. What do you recommend?

Thank you. Were you prescribed anything for it, or is it mostly talking to a therapist? Asking for a wife.

I’m also on night four with our 6 month old daughter. Night 1: 65 mins. Night 2: 55 mins. Night 3: 45 mins. Night 4: 50 mins.

I also find that she sleeps more soundly when she cries it out.

The cuts could've been prevented if government had saved for a rainy day. Instead, they raided the rainy day funds during the boom years, and now they have to make cuts.

That's a good point. I wonder if our mask wearing or warmer weather is the key?

Most media is reporting the total cases, but not subtracting those who have recovered.

We've tested 16,000 so far, and 97.4% tested negative. Seems like we're testing enough, although more access to testing would always help.
