A short term rental is being rented to a tourist. A houseless shelter invites more trouble to the area. Drugs run ramped in and around these places. As well as crime.

i would rather we didn't have homeless camps/squatters and such in our neighborhood. Stop with the hand outs.

The rental may cause problems for a few days. Shelter will be everyday.

Short term rental occupants often have little regard for the property. They have no prideof place. It's not their's. It's somebody else's prblem as far as taxes, insurance and liability. People in a homeless shelter are more likely to be appreciative and respectful of the space offered.

How is this a Yes or No question? Does Yes mean more likely, and No less likely? Or does Yes simply mean, yes it affects me somehow?

Your question really needs to address wilderness camping as that activity impacts greatly the wilderness landscape. Day, permits, visits are far less destructive to the Three Sisters Wilderness and easier to obtain.

Your already paying for high gas prices to get there

"Your" already paying? Did you think the price of gas included admission to wherever "you're" going? How about Disneyland? "Your" already paying for the gas to go there so it should be free, right? Maybe if you fly they should pay you?

It is enforced to preserve the overall wilderness experience to benefit all who recreate and obtain a wild connection to Nature.

Dude, try to hike the Wonderland Trail at MRNP. It is a lottery for dates - good luck.

The bums are camping in or near the canal by Brookswood. COID is good about expelling them quickly but the trash blows all over the place. People used to walk this trail all the time. Now I see the vagrants smoking crack/meth. My neighborhood that borders this is full of families.
