  1. There are other ways to accomplish the goal of more housing.
    1. The county could buy certain complexes (at fair market value) that were actually built for long term housing with the fund that is set up through STR taxes. Then keep replenishing those funds with rents & taxes.

    They could put a 3 to 5 year moratorium on all other construction that take needed infrastructure in order to build more apartments and affordable homes.

    This would be a win win…not pick winners & losers.

  2. I like it quiet where I live.
    It would really be frustrating to live where a high number of tourists frequent. Causing noise, traffic, and nothing tranquil.

    Population is growing, people are living longer.
    Social Media lets people see what is out there across Earth.
    Humans have this misconception they can own nature and keep people away from it.

    1. Do you think it would be okay to vote on your financial future? Maybe that we vote to cut your 401k by 50%?
      We purchased based on property rights that have been established for over 40 years. No thank you.
