Neighborhoods are for neighbors not tourists.

Heather Keenan

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.

Michael McFarland

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.

Rachel Jarvis Saunders

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

Garth Inskeep

Regulate, Tax and Enforce and everybody wins.

Jim Cox

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.

Gayle Ward

Freedom is becoming a lost right

Nicholas Barlow

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

Michel LeChasseur

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.

Sheri Wahlstrom

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

Brian Felber

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!!!

I try whenever I can.

If we want a plastic ocean then we should continue to do what we are doing.

k san

Because it is the right thing to do.

Stuart Alpert

hello

Larry Ewart

As much as possible

Sarah Croom

I do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything

I do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.

Michael Stafford

It is the least we can do to preserve our resources.

Julie Brantley

We pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.

JoãoVitorJ J

Yes, I recycle

Milena Santana

because it helps the environment

Cornelia H. Dunnings

I like to help the environment. I even pick up cans & bottles near my car in parking lots.

Joyce Koch

I feel I'm helping out.

Linda Jeffcoat Amick

Why not?

gena

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.

Evey G Quines

It's the least I can do

Bonita Davis

We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.

Jill Hoadley Chalk

It's important to reuse as many things as possible.

Ann Wilbanks

Our duty to recycle. If it goes to the landfill, it piles up. Be responsible!!

Rachel Clara Smith

Of course! Everyone should recycle!

BJ Arey

We recycle everything possible. We also take cloth bags shopping, use insulated bag with blue ice for cold items & take reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers to take home.

it's quite literally pointless if you do any research

Cindy Calhoun

It's not bogus I just do not have a place to drop it off in my area - if it's not close by I'm lazy and won't go out of my way (I'm a sad case).

Nancy Sam

I do when its readily available at airports, malls, ect. But at our home, no. I do want that to change though.

Jimmy Lancaster

I do what I can with cardboard and such but there is no recycling program where I live

Elaine Reed

There is no recycling program where I live.

Nancy L Marine

My local recycling company charges me to recycle, even though they're already making money on recycling that which people turn in to them.

I've been only shopping online for years. I feel badly for store retailers, but it's just more convenient to shop online. Going into a retail store nowadays is like visiting a ghost town. There's never anyone there.
