There's no guarantee of anything in the STR investing world, and I do think cities are legally allowed to switch their laws, so as soon as I say it's super unlikely to happen, that thing will then happen.But again, not even the most liberal, affordable-housing-starved, anti-STR city in Colorado has changed their laws and not allowed those who were operating under a legal short-term rental license to continue.Your point is well taken though.

Cold-calling is all but a dead-art, but the principles remain. 

As best as I can tell without knowing their specific algorithm their search placement is weighted something like this: Price>No/few rules>super liberal cancellation>Instant book>Premier host>Reviews>Other.

However, I am now on par with the other popular amenities for the high-performing properties .. examples include: outdoor space w/ seating, firepit, grill, games, walking distance to nightlife, retro video game, thoughtful mural art, quality pictures & listing details.My target guest group is a small group of friends or a family that values walkability to entertainment & nightlife and a very short drive to major Pittsburgh attractions.

Poop smeared on the walls, hell I could open a feces art gallery with the # of pic's I have.

Hence, the issue with housing in these liberal areas. 

Here is a breakdown: Queen bed frame: $400 - $700 High-quality mattress: $500 - $9,000 Pillows (2-4 per bed): $40 - $120 Linens (sheets, duvet, comforter): $150 - $300 Blanket: $50 - $75 1 Bedside tables: $40 - $150 1 Lamps/lighting: $40 - $75 Art decor (2 pieces): $100 - $275 Bathroom towel racks, dispensers and soap racks: $100 - $200 Makeup mirror: $20 - $80 Hair dryer: $20 - $60 5x7 rug: $75 - $250 Small vase with plant: $20 - $50 3-ft decorative tree: $50 - $150 Two window curtains (with rods): $80 - $150 55-inch TV: $375 - $500Total cost per bedroom will range from $2,320 - $3,545 

yeah you are likely looking at art studio/content creation type spaces or maybe some startup that needs a bit of storage or warehousing while they get going.
