Now wait a minute... AirBnB spent $500,000 on a local media campaign claiming vacation rentals are all owned by local people who are struggling to get by... and turning their homes into a hotel is the only way they can survive financially? So now you tell us the same properties are all owned by rich people who would never rent long-term to local residents?  Both of the stories are BS.  The truth is illegal vacation rentals are all about GREED... Scofflaw property owners are intently violating our zoning laws in order to make money!  It's wrong and both the City and the State need to close down these illegal rentals. If you want to run a vacation rental business, open one up legally in a resort district, otherwise stay out of our neighborhoods.
