The government.

lol, welcome to working with the government.

The California government will deal with the damage the same way all governments do , they will find a way to raise taxes or get the Feds to pay for it ( that will be difficult with the new administration ) Here is what I find ironic , California has C.A.R.B. to pass regulations on vehicle emissions .

The market is booming in both the business and real estate sectors.

Requiring a copy of a government-issued ID is a good extra layer of security.

Yes, on hold again as of 12/26, and you can always check the official government site itself:https://fincen.gov/boi

The government of Costa Rica has a policy to limit development and doesn't invest much in infrastructure to bring tourism.

I feel like in today’s day in age there are so many tools for STR operations and I cannot believe there is no integration for a merchant of sale transaction or some kind of financial app/ software that can take the remitted taxes and pay them to the government automatically.

Not a ton of young professionals except in government roles (Carson City's largest employment option), or if they want a slower pace but are still willing to commute to Reno. 

Otherwise with the dwindling tech sector in SF, and the remote work (2-3 days a week) that is most likely here to stay, it just doesn't seem like a strong mid term market to me.
