You can thank the National Association of Realtors for our lobbying efforts on this item.  

It's also less than a couple miles from downtown Cincy and some major event venues (sports, theater, opera, etc.)

The White Flint Mall site in MoCo, Union Station site, Hill East Site, Alexandria, and Arlington sites are all much more realistic with much more lobbying efforts behind those sites.

then the bank teller window with the metal slide for the rent and of course bullet proof glass a little Like bank lobbies in Sicily I had been in.. 

It also helps to get involved with local landlord groups (GBAOMA, MAOMA, CMAOA, etc) who help stay on top of legislative issues and lobby to keep them aligned in our favor whenever possible.

In all cases though my money went where I wanted it to go, with taxes it goes to whoever lobbies the best for it.

You can try to compete with them, but I won't even buy rentals here I can't imagine the prices are good enough to make it viable AND have to compete with the hotel lobby. again - I don't know the STR numbers, I don't want to dissuade you.

In our theater circles we attend and at the gym we have found small groups of folks that we got to know that we can share with and that share with us. 

Courthouses, theaters, lakefront, event center, and libraries are downtown.

And it seems that such regulations will be on the increase, as state lawmakers tend to copy what others have done, and realtors have strong lobbying with NAR, and quite frankly there is the bad behavior from those wholesalers who have wronged a seller that reaches the attention of the regulators and they then get to work on "correcting" that.
