Why do you think that short-term middle-to-upper-class renters are preferable neighbours to medium-to-long-term lower-class renters? I saw your comment elsethread about ease of punishment, which makes some sense, but in my experience small landlords simply don't care.
Living above a pair of end-stage alcoholics who importuned people on the sidewalk and called the ambulance for health care every few weeks was far, far more annoying than the flophouse a few doors down. Then there was the poor family with 9 people in a two-bedroom unit, with a couple of teenagers who vandalised and may have been thieves as well (not that upper-class teenagers aren't hoodlums, of course: many of them are too). Then there was the prostitute with the shady clientele.
You appear to be opposed to short-term renters, but appear to applaud Section 8. Why the difference?
- tptacek 11y agoYes, that is exactly what I think, and also what the zoning commissioners in virtually every city think, which is why cities have limitations on short-term rentals in residential properties and special zoning rules for where you can put hotels!
