A contingent of CA legislators recently headed down to TX to find out why the state is doing so well compared to CA.

Dodd/Frank legislation gave us that distinction. 

We are providing a public service.And it is true, there are people who abuse the ESA registration - Mike is again spot on with how to channel everyone's collective frustration with this into demanding legislation and uniform guidelines. 

2010 DZC, Section 11.8.2.2.4 requires the owner of a zone lot.......If this is in fact the incorrect wording then the go around of using a TENANT as the permanent resident is illegal.If the code is written to not require a OWNER to live there and that was the intent of the code  legislators need to take action to close this loop hole. 

I make sure I look for any STR regulation, permitting restrictions or ongoing legislation in the area to make sure nothing crazy is about to pop up in the near future from an STR compliance perspective.  

The trouble I see with that the proposed legislation, especially in areas like mine, is that it will probably only exacerbate the issue.

It's been almost a year and there has been no significant legislation coming out. 

Bankers and legislators--totally in bed with each other--it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt--that's you and me.

As @Marc Winter said, the City of Scranton itself has historically had some interesting political and legislation issues compared to its neighbors.

As I'm catching up on the passed legislation, it appears my home is in the pilot area.
