Ask Fodor's or Lonely Planet to put it in their tourist guides :lol: But the grandma and boy thing is kinda freaky.

We have a very large population of folks who commute to NY & NJ for work and a pretty good tourist industry on top of it.

However, recently I had a discussion with a homeowner in Sedona, AZ, a now very tourist and popular spot for retirees or vacationers.

@Christina HallThey banned any new STR permits indefinitely except in a few tourist commercial zones or those where hoa’s allow them.

It's basically sales and tourist development taxes.

The area is flood with tourists throughout the year.

Its near a military town, so quite of few out of towners and tourists due to the bay and marina being so close. 

Some of my reasons for making this statement include:Changing perception of Las Vegas - from a tourist destination (“Sin City”) to a good place to live.Historical trends - The historical relationship between home prices and rental prices.The 2018 tax act.Changing Perception Of Las VegasI am seeing a lot of positive headlines like the following:Las Vegas Now the Nation’s Hottest Housing MarketLas Vegas may be the best city to retire in the USLas Vegas is booming again, and bracing itself for next slump - Diversification and the new Las Vegas School of Medicine.Headlines like these “legitimize” Las Vegas as a good place to live, not just a holiday destination.

For example, buying an apartment in Mexico (ex, Tulum) and renting it out to tourists on Airbnb.

One other note, are you in a tourist area?
