I'm reading all of the ordinances for each of these Counties/areas but the restrictions are confusing.

As far as the impact, first who is the beneficiary of the restriction? 

When looking for short term rentals be sure to check local ordinances and restrictions.

These regulations dictate the impact of a property on the environment and can have significant implications for property owners and investors.Environmental regulations can include requirements for the management of hazardous materials, restrictions on the use of certain types of land, and requirements for the protection of natural resources.

@Jason Morris Hey Jason, the first thing I would look at is the zoning for your lot currently and the restrictions that go along with said zoning.

I would simply Google "legal restrictions for short term rentals in city X" or "short term rental permits in city X".  

On a side note, the main reason for home prices being so high is restricted development.

I have MTR in Hillcrest, Oceanside, and city heights and they usually have pretty good occupancy rate but seems to be slowing down or something.
