I have a mix of long term rentals and STRs and rent some of my STSs mid term in the off season so I am happy to share my thoughts and experiences with each strategy in this area.  

Here's a link https://www.oregon.gov/ODA/shared/Documents/Publications/FoodSafety/ServiceAnimalsposter.pdf You're mixing things up and only looking on a local level.

Our immediate plan is to get some STRs going and mix in some mid or ltr, and in the future a few other possibilities to bring in income. 

@Carlos Ptriawan to add to what you’re saying, if an investor has a mix of properties (great ones and lesser ones) and they are looking to streamline, they could sell the less desirable ones, pay the gain taxes, and use the proceeds to pay down/off the loans on the most desirable properties they want to keep long term.

The city wants to have "Neighborhood Anchors Points" consisting of Mixed-Use and Retail/commercialVisual of all land bank properties The area I will focus in.A break down of cost to purchase all Land Bank properties on each street. 

I have mixed feelings on this.....part of my brain says to take that money and pay down the debt, that's what I would do if t were my household finances...but then, what a brillant political move to send everyone (well they're saying only taxpayers) a check for a few grand.

There's a mix of younger professionals drawn to the tech and education sectors, as well as retirees attracted to the area's mild climate and cultural attractions.2.

I have received mixed information regarding this!

It is a mixed use.

@Sam Spoerl I don't wholesale but likely a mix of both.
