Anchorage/Eagle River residents: How do you feel about the recent House Bill on ADUs?

Question

The bill aims to boost available housing in Alaska by curtailing the growth in short-term rentals like AirBnBs. Do you agree that it's "problematic if people who can afford to build new homes are just building them as short-term rentals"?

Hey @Keenan Fitzpatrick. It can be. In metro areas, you can expect this kind of thing.

I do believe it can be a problem. I am a big believer in property rights but people need a place to live when there is high density involved.

It is one of the reasons a lot of us only buy in vacation areas.

Just a go-nowhere bill meant to posture the sponsor to appeal to their base.
