Huge trend of cities in CA fighting AirBnB, short-term rentals

[Ashley Moyer]

First, South Lake Tahoe was all over the news in Northern California for its campaign to shut down short term rentals and now, I just read San Diego just voted to limit short-term rentals to primary residences only! Wow! I think a trend (at least in California) is starting! What are your thoughts? 

Here is the latest article in San Diego: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/tourism/sd-fi-airbnb-council-20180715-story.html

@Ashley Moyer First let me say that I have a VRBO on a lake in a small neighborhood in a rural area.

These are almost all 2nd homes with only one full time resident.

However where I live full time someone started doing an Aibnb and the neighbors went nuts and I actually am on their side.

First it is against the law to have a STR in my county where I live full time but it isn't enforced until there are complaints.

Several of my neighbors wrote letters to code enforcement about strangers showing up at weird hours, Bachelorette parties with people yelling in the street, Ubers dropping people off at 2am ETC. The neighbors had small children and they had no idea who was next door at any given time.

So as a VRBO owner and as someone living down the street I understand both sides.
