I lived in a place that had short term rentals.
The visitors don't give a damn about the people living there. They left out trash, speed through the neighborhood, were loud at all hours ... because it didn't matter if they upset the neighbors, they'd never see them again.
The folks renting out the places wanted the most profit possible so they did not care about paying their fees or maintenance and etc.
The incentives for someone invested in living there and someone just there for a weekend / week creates different incentives.
- darioush 2y agoWhy don't all these long term community people have a talk with the long term owner and have them not rent their place? To be honest, it sounds like there is no community whatsoever to begin with, at least not one that the long term community members get any say in what happens. I wonder if all the people who were renting their vacation homes out stopped doing it, what would happen to the restaurant traffic in the area and who would shop at the souvenir shop? In fact I greatly wonder what the source of economic activity would be in such "destination towns" if we cut off tourism.
