[QUOTE=G3504]You got my vote on this one guys! They're only gonna drive up prices in the end. And whose to say that they're gonna permanently reside here. I'm sure once they feel the "lack luster" of Hawaii has worn off they'll pick up shop and move somewhere else. Never know just how quickly they'll leave. It's all good though if they can match prices and give better service! Competitive pricing is how any business survives and succeeds. They should definitely build a strong client base if they asked for the going rate and NOT any higher. Jumping off the soap box now.

How about this, If they want to jack up prices, how about doing what the golf courses do and offer a kama'aina rate. Screw (no pun intended) the tourists, and keep the locals happy. The locals are the bread and butter after all, so to speak.
Just thinking out loud...
