Do you enjoy having short-term rentals in your neighborhood?

Yes, love them!

No, they're a pain!

Half the time, no one is at these houses, making the neighborhood quieter. When there are groups there, it's only temporary if they happen to be loud or obnoxious in any way.

It's a way for people to make some money. Of course the state couldn't stand not getting their grubby hands in the pot.

The constant turnover of people coming in and out of houses on my street makes me feel less secure in who's around my neighborhood every weekend.

Tourists belong in our hotels, not in my neighbor's house.

We share a 200 ft access road/alley to the street and they do no snow removal and refuse to do so. I have had to pick up bottles, cans, and cigarette butts. They do not take their trash barrels in.

STRs have ruined our neighborhood. We live in a residential neighborhood and they are a business. Strange people, unknown cars, extra vehicles on the street, noise, no neighbors around who care.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
