I think this will need to be settled in court, but it is absolutely disgusting to try an apply a hotel tax to someone who is renting out a single place. Sure, classify a company that owns and rents out several places as a hotel, because they are at that point, but don't fucking tell me what I can do with my house on my land. It's disgusting.
- eropple 11y agoI realize that it might upset you to live in a civil society, but the act of doing so does behoove you to adhere at least cursorily to the social contracts that have existed since long before you were born. Part of that social contract is "don't be a shithead neighbor." We tell you you can't have loud parties at 3AM when it affects other people, too. If the people engaging in short-term rentals are enough of a problem--and, when I've encountered them, they certainly have been, so I'm sympathetic--then, yes, we as a society, that thing you live in, will act to curtail the cause of the symptom that hurts us. You can move to the backwoods of Idaho and rent anything you want. If you want to live amongst people, then act like it. (I have a theory that a large part of why the Valley wants to put so much of civil society to the torch is because there isn't much of one there, now that very large corporate interests have a stranglehold, but I cannot prove it.)
