Why would or should you have a say in what the property owner next door does?
What does having a say look like?
- duxup 4y agoCities and etc have zoning laws because it does matter what kind of activity happens next door. I lived in a town house association where the unit’s being rented were the source of noise, trash, crime, etc. People renting often don’t care as much for the neighborhood/ locals and they can move on at will. And you'd be surprised how much random citizen land lords are terrible at just being land lords. After the numbers of rentals were reduced (and background checks required) the neighborhood improved greatly. It was like turning off a light switch on noise, litter, crime, etc...
- rcpt 4y agoI generally agree with you. But unless you're allowed to knock down your house and build a 10 story apartment in it's place then the argument kind of falls flat.
- rootusrootus 4y agoWhy should you have the unchecked right to disturb the peace of your next door neighbor?
- Mystery-Machine 4y agoWho tf claimed that? It's two completely different questions. The issue is not Airbnb or not. The issue is guests etiquette and difficulty to penalize bad/loud/disrespectful people.
- alphabettsy 4y agoYou don’t have the unchecked right to disturb your neighbor anywhere in the US as far as I know. Who was suggesting anyone should?
- dns_snek 4y agoWould you oppose a smelly wastewater treatment plant being built on the previously residential property right next to you? That's why they should get a say.
- alphabettsy 4y agoThat’s not even remotely what we’re talking about.
- dns_snek 4y agoIs it not? I think it's very comparable, you attempted to appeal to the freedoms of property owners but there are laws the govern the use of land wherever you go.
