I think if anything this would just make apartment condo rents rise. long term us getting extra rents from our investments would be a good thing for investors here in hawaii. 

Obviously bad for thoes who dont own a property and now have to pay more in rent so property owners can pay that tax but id much rather see the children in hawaii have a better school system. On that note the money itself to our current hawaii government for our school system wont do jack $#!^ but once a new government and younger people start stepping in to the right seats we will see good use of that money. For now its just a burden until we get rid of our crappy hawaii government as a whole.

For any of the younger generation reading this in Hawaii, i strongly urge you to think about taking a seat in our government so we can slowly start to change our horrible hawaii ways. I know i plan on running when i get the funds!
