@Jay Hinrichs yes Maui did the same thing after the Lahaina fire, and you're also right that Santa Rosa had no such restrictions. 

However, sold data is restricted in a lot of states so it's not accurate comparatively.I have always found the overall interface average.

They are much less restrictive than other municipalities in South Florida that are actively trying to reduce the number of STRs.Let me know if you'd like to talk further on the topic! 

They are very nice and can be helpful providing you what you can and cannot build on your property (Set back, height restrictions, front look etc).

Those are my thoughts and the things you have to tighten up if you actually want to offer this as a service. 

If the latter, people have tightened there wallets and certain areas are seeing a decline.

Do Snowbirds usually like ground floors since They might have restriction climbing stairs. 

In light of that did the developers wind up getting a pretty decent deal out of this after they took a big risk on a property with crazy restrictive zoning and no clear path forward prior to purchase?

I personally feel landlording in Indianapolis is pretty easy as far as restrictions go.  

If we become heavily restricted, what chance does the rest of the DMV have to get their own regulations that make sense?
