Neighborhoods are for neighbors not tourists.

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.

call the police, not the owner, just like you would if the owner was the one in the house making the noise

I call BS on local government telling you you cannot rent a room in the dwelling you OWN, It has been happening for decades and while the instances have risen with AirBnB et the fundamentals have not

Regulate, Tax and Enforce and everybody wins.

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.

Freedom is becoming a lost right

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

I own a house with short-term rental never never had one issue i believe the city is not well equipped or well prepare to do code enforcement, POOR MANAGEMENT.

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.

Paul A Stankus

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.

Mike Fish

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.

Sheri Wahlstrom

Exactly!!!
