Use them...have them lobby the deicison maker.Good luck and best wishes.

I see it less as a "service" for hosts, and more as a lobbying effort to save their own business (and ours of course, in the long run).

Or, mobile home owners can form associations, lobby  politicians for legal protections and right of first refusal when a park owner decides to sell, become active in groups fighting for tenants rights, educate themselves on resident owned communities, work collaboratively with other parks under similar attack, build strong neighborhoods  and do the real work of saving affordable housing by keeping it, well, affordable. 

I'll be hosting a new meetup on 10/3 at 7pm for other BPers in the region looking for a conversational approach to investing in the area.A few of us met at Coleman's back on Sep 10th and it went very well so I want to keep that momentum going in the area so we'll meet in the lobby bar of the Aloft Hotel at the Inner Harbor (310 W Kirkpatrick St, Syracuse, NY) for this next meeting.Feel free to let your other area contacts know and/or bring them along.

I agree when laws like this are being developed there are always some lobbying going on from specific groups trying and wanting to protect their best interests.

Unless you're planning on a very low-effort protest, you can expect to spend hours digging up your evidence, analyzing the district's evidence, preparing an argument, and waiting in the lobby.

What you can do is to get with other STR owners to lobby for positive or less restrictive common sense ordinances.

We've been losing millions by continuing to produce them, but there's a lot of lobbying groups that make sure that production isn't stopping soon.But if you're talking the value of the US dollar - then yes COVID isn't doing it any favors.

There is a membership (and a voluntary fee that goes to lobbying for landlords).It has a legal hotline, contracts (developed by attorneys), lobbyists, updates on federal and state laws, local ordinances, etc.

Best to speak with an attorney since there is an strong effort to get rid of wholesalers from lobby groups so laws can change suddenly..
