From New York Times!!

Fearful that the presence of Chinese guests at her company’s own hotel, the Druzhba, or Friendship, might drive away other regular customers, Ms. Tavitova last month decided to bar Chinese from booking rooms. “We could not risk losing everything,” she explained. The Kremlin last week made the same calculation, announcing that, starting last Thursday, all Chinese citizens would be barred from entering Russia. The decision slammed a lucrative tourism industry driven in a large part by Chinese visitors, more than 1.5 million of whom came to Russia last year.

posting with no name -Why is it okay for YOU but no one else?
Because my properties are zoned for hotels… Not residential

TOOK A LONG TERM rental and changed it into short term or so called “overflow rooms” not so and you know it my units do not have kitchens and were motel rooms.

Why would you buy a house you can not afford. Liar

Chapel is spot on. Yes I rent part of my home too (VOC). My renters are respectful and quiet – honestly, quieter than my neighbors. If you want to live in restricted area that has an HOA, (i.e.: VOCA) more power to you – you won’t have to deal with the “short term” renters (somehow they’re better “quality” of people if they rent for 30 days or more?).
But I worked, and I bought my home deiberately where there was no HOA to restrict what I can do with my home. I too can finally make ends meet thanks to the current relaxed laws. Private property is just that. The government (and whiny neighbors) don’t pay my bills, and have no claim to what I do with my property as long as it doesn’t infringe on their rights and property. So, get used to the fact that some people don’t find the situation to be bad. The new monster Element hotel, and the upcoming Hilton Garden Inn – that’s somehow okay? Oh right, NIMBY.

What an opportunity! How many will be renting spaces under the radar? Without permits? Without paying taxes? Tracking and regulation? Forget it.

Pay back time locally, Folks, for all the damn money they continue to throw at the chamber of commerce currently to teach us the art of sustainability? Oh, and let’s not forget that $11,000 plus the C of C Pres/CEO is paid monthly for all her hard work! RIGHT! And what’s that done for residents’ quality of life besides creating traffic gridlock?

Kudos to those who get away with beating the system!

Cool. So one room is OK but not the whole house. I wanna turn one of my rooms into a hardware store. It’s my property so that should be my right. And maybe just one gas pump outside, or perhaps an EV charging station, or both. It’s my property, my right.

Seriously, what short term rental proponents don’t seem to understand is residential neighborhood integrity and character. I didn’t sign up to live in a commercial zone, no matter how well behaved your renters might be. And if you can’t pay your mortgage that’s your problem and not a justification.

How can you say this “I am not for over night rentals but the cat is out of the bag. hope that helps” When YOU TOOK A LONG TERM rental and changed it into short term or so called “overflow rooms”

Are you twisting the truth again?

Are you creating fake information?

Why is it okay for YOU but no one else?

Chapel says:Renting my house makes me able to pay the mortgage. I don’t mind the company and it’s made a few friendlies. I’m sick to death of the whiners that don’t realize it’s the poorest of us getting a chance to level the playing field with the big brand franchisees and motel guys.
Chapel says: , ok then you should pay the same property tax we pay, have the same inspections we have by city and county , have the same fire safety and sprinkler systems we need to have , the same parking and same zoning hotels need to have build a hotel….. If you can not afford to buy a home not our problem…. you ask for a level the playing field ok I just gave you the list. Your neighbors and you bought a home with residential zoning (single family homes) hotels need to buy commercial zoning that cost 3 to 4 time more the residential zoning
