I remember in the restaurant industry, tired of paying tips, customers demanded they wanted “all in” pricing.So restaurant’s started charging more…and guests still left tips and were still unhappy.So restaurants went back to lower prices, with an added 3% charge called out for health care costs….You guessed it, people still complained

Restaurants etc also are losing revenue as are car rentals.

@Bruce Woodruff I thought it had the opposite impact on tax dollars...more income, payroll, and sales taxes collected from permanent residents living full time in the homes than tourists just paying sales taxes.Depends on which study you choose to accept. a) Tourists spend waaay more money at local restaurants and shops than residents.

It's one of the reasons I am in the process of building a hybrid apartment/hotel in PHX, which will have the STR benefits of automation, full kitchens, and separate living and sleeping areas while having a pool, gym, outdoor courtyard, fire pit, grilling station, central location near shopping and restaurants, efficiencies of scale, commercial zoning, and no residential neighborhood challenges.

Maybe it's because we spend a lot of money and generate tax dollars and keep stores and restaurants open when we visit and consume services. 

Cars: getting out at a theater or nice restaurant.  

Seller is a Mexican National and as such is required to let IRS hold 15% of sales price for any tax problems until next tax year.

Especially if you have a rural place like ours.We don't have clubs to visit or a bunch of restaurants to explore food options.

Link to OrdinanceWhat they are trying to prevent is this:A Mexican national pleaded guilty Monday in federal court to his role as operator of a human smuggling stash house in Phoenix"The property was used to conceal undocumented noncitizens as part of a transnational human smuggling operation in which foreign nationals were smuggled across the U.S.

The people mostly work at places like bars/restaurants/healthcare.
