Homes in primarily R-1 residential areas are losing homes to short term rentals. This loses homes to families that could be long term residents. This drives

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.

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.

Everything the government touches gets ruined.

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!

Only if they want massive investment that dramatically expands their taxbase and builds modern infrastructure close to the end users to support a growing futuristic economy. Unfortunately, Columbia city council listens to misguided special interests who live in leftist utopia dreamworld.

City leaders would rather tax the citizens. They don't want the city to grow.

Bad for communities, environment, humanity, climate, pretty much everything.

Large data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day, which is equivalent to the water use of a small city. Additionally, they can draw as much electricity as 100,000 homes or more, significantly impacting local resources. That is simply unacceptable.
