Good on you, I guess.

There are a ton of properties where I live doing short term rentals.

It prevents folks who want to live here full time from buying and it drives up longer-term rental rates.

I guess you got yours so good for you.

A lot of us have no sympathy when yall have problems, though.

Well yeah, my neighbors appreciated I restored the house that was otherwise not in good condition. It sat empty for years. It was originally designed as a vacation/second home - and was never a primary residence or fully owner occupied home. It's in the mountain on over 5 acres. I'm not fully dismissing your concerns - but reality is, vacation homes are a thing. And they were a thing before Airbnb came around. Yes, I took a risk on renovating a dilapidated property. I worked within the framework the county has for allowing STRs. And I'll protect that investment by putting in restrictions and protections by not letting a bad guest ruin it for me.
