Mike Savage discussed this on his show. He pronounced it “air benub”. Lol. His take was disgust and amazement that people would let complete strangers into their homes for a few bucks. Have to say I agree with him

Short or long term rental in R-1 zones should be illegal everywhere except where the entire property is rented long term!

That’s what hotels and motels are for!

If she were concerned with deteriorating neighborhoods, then Hunter’s Point would not exist as it is.

She’s a democrat. It’s all about collecting more taxes.

“This is what happens when governments get too big and too self-important.”

It’s also what happens when we fail to purge the ancient geezer/career pols from yesterday to continue their rule over us.

It’s not something I would care to do but it was very common years ago.

I see no problem with it at all.

I did this both in Los Angeles and up in Washington, and it always worked out great.

In L.A. we had a separate wing on the house with it's own entrance. We had some unremarkable short rentals, then got one for 3 months... a gorgeous young violinist who was at the time touring with Josh Grobin. Sometimes she would come out and ask if it's ok for her to practice her violin for a while, and we were like "please do!! your music is absolutely beautiful!".

Up in WA we had an outbuilding which we converted into a vacation rental. We charged $100/night, and it was full most of the time... ofter times repeat customers. It paid for our property taxes and more, and we met a lot of great people. We counted the income on our taxes and did pay tax on it... just to be on the safe side.
