Strange. Very strange.

Normally, in fact nearly always, people contemplating or committing illegal acts or breaking the law in some way attempt to keep their actions secret, or at least hidden from the appropriate law enforcement or regulatory authority for that particular act.

Not so with those who reveal, yes, even boast about operating unlicensed, illegal short-term vacation rentals.

One lawbreaker even had the nerve to make a public confession in a lengthy article in this very newspaper in an interview with Allison Schaefers (“Host uses short-term rental as path to homeownership,” Star-Advertiser, May 9).

How can the Honolulu government allow this blatant disregard for the law to continue?
