The laws violate human rights. People should not have their right to contract denied. Actions that infringe upon the rights of others, like damaging the common area of an apartment building, or creating noise pollution, can be justifiably prohibited, but not actions that are non-infringing and only deemed to be correlated with the infringing action.
In other words, prohibiting short term rentals is a form of repression.
- cmurf 10y agoYou're completely wrong on every count. Your argument weirdly proposes a totally anti-democracy, pro-mercantilst point of view where citizens have no right to petition government for zoning laws that clearly disallow, for everyone, operating certain types of business in those zone. Short term rental is widely regarded as operating a hotel or b&b.
- aminok 10y agoClaiming I'm wrong doesn't make it so. Your definition of democratic is the majority being able to violate the minority's rights. Your definition of mercantilism is also totally wrong. >Short term rental is widely regarded as operating a hotel or b&b. You say that as if it justifies repressing it. As if certain categories of voluntary transactions can justifiably be repressed.
