Forcing American citizens to leave the CCP HQ (Columbia, MO) isn't a bad thing. Missouri will be better off, if everyone leaves Columbia, MO.

It's better to have the marketplace dictate the cost of a home (supply & demand) rather than limiting investors and home buyers (the money) options, no?

Condos near me being rented to temp health care workers. Makes it feel like a motel.

Turning a single-family residence into a commercial rental building needs to be regulated so it does not impact the surrounding neighbors. Party houses or large groups of young people with no adult supervision is bad for a neighborhood and should be prohibited.

A lack of regulation will lead to shortages in housing inventory. Honestly these short-term rentals should probably be regulated into extinction. Make housing affordable again! - Rob Rasmussen

Most of my neighbors are short-term. I love it. They are all professionals mostly healthcare. Zero kids, zero riff raff. I was happy after they were able to evict all the bums earlier.

Regulation leads to shortages (then a rise in prices), quality of homes and neighborhoods goes down (more crime, etc.) Regulation is almost always a bad idea! The only regulation that should be put forth should be how much the government can interfere with a free society!

The Constitution should be the bedrock of our democracy, not a 50.000001% out-of-state dark money, pay petition gathers and buy an election with false advertising gimmick. It should take way more signatures to get on the ballot and 75% of the vote during a presidential election for a change. FJB

It's a power grab. Anyone can see that.

Grabbing power away from the out-of-state dark money liberals who can't get their simps elected to the legislature and giving power back to the people where it belongs.

Because the Republicans want to control the voters instead of the voters controlling the government.

You can't possibly believe that. Everyone knows these initiative petitions are bought and paid for by out-of-state special interests who are very well funded. Constitutions should only be amended on rare occasions and it should be difficult to do, not easy to buy.

AlGore was RIGHT! Western capitalists, with their evil corporations, have caused massive man-made global warming, resulting in drought across USA. They must immediately stop producing all greenhouse gases, retire internal combustion engines & give lots of $$$ to liberals to fix the problem. FJB
