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

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.

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.

Exactly!!!

Greenland is a territory of Denmark, & neither of them wants to be part of the United States. Trump has no right to just take whatever he wants that doesn't belong to him. That's called stealing, & it's illegal.

John Sunde

DC and then Puerto Rico rank ahead.

I enjoy watching the glitz, glamour, and appreciation for artists and actors' great work.

I enjoy watching celebrities and award shows!

Patricia Quiroz-Alfaro

I vote for my favorite actors and awards also give me an idea of what I want to watch. Other than that winners don't matter to me.

Haven't watched any of them in decades. Who wants to see some very rich celebrities pat each other on the back and tell us all their political views?

Cause there all WOKE!!

Ed Drahos

Award shows are nothing more than self promotion of themselves. And act like self advertising. Like advertising, the less advertising the less popularity.

Garrett

The award shows once mattered. Since they have become so much more than a few once or twice a year but rather at least a 100, all with varying degrees of actual criteria beyond marketing campaigns and now the over-compensating “inclusive,” nature of certain categories going out of their way
