The women interviewed on the news said a majority of noise complaints came from non-permitted property owners. However, the noise from renters or part time individuals in the desert is a real problem.

We live in a house in Cathedral City that was next to a vacation rental home. The “homeowners” lived in Los Angeles, and did absolutely nothing regarding the noise, trash, and parking violations.

I believe it is very short sighted of the city to ban them. They bring so much to the city. And if the city only had better enforcement they never would have had these issues int he first place.

Because some people need help paying their mortgage. they increase property values and bring in tourist revenue to the city. Staying in house has different feel then hotel and makes sense for families

Tax dollars. Period. The end. CatCity isn’t in a position to turn away such opportunities. Honestly. The revenue will help all programs.

STR's are good for the economic growth of Cathedral City. There are better ways to solve the issues with a few problem homes. A few bad apples shouldn't ruin everything for good honest homeowners.

Cathedral City Council has opted to penalize all short term vacation rental owners when 95% of the complaints were for illegal rentals. There are better ways of enforcing existing rules.

CC is only now adding enforcement, which is what we all asked for in the first place, not a phase out. When someone runs a bad taco shop, you shut that shop down, not ALL the taco shops.

I'll go homeless before I give up my pet. He's part of the family and we'll behaved.

They raised rent and many struggle with it and now they want pet rent. THAT is just being greedy. Pet deposit is all they need. Otherwise it is just being ridiculous. Pets do not have income.

Absolutely not! Our pets are family. I can understand a rent deposit for a pet to cover any damage, but not extra rent on top of a deposit!

NO ABSOLUTELY NOT! WE HAVE 2 FUR-BABIES AND THEY ARE PART OF OUR FAMILY! THAT'S WHY WE HAVE DECIDED TO LIVE IN OUR CAMP TRAILER INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH RENTING AN APARTMENT!
