Last week, I witnessed SF Council’s lukewarm response to two residents asking for regulation of local short-term rental houses.
In a township that requires the registration of dogs, and regulates backyard chicken flocks, there is still no plan to require commercial zoning or business licences for holiday rental accommodation. For now, anyone can turn any house into a profitable “hotel,” add tons of waste to local landfill and ruin a quiet neighbourhood without even paying a business tax.
It’s time to either ban STRs or regulate them.
