I get that, but the people who drive the economy in destination locations still need to have a place to stay.

Back then there was industry and employment to be found all over the place. All those jobs are gone and ME, VT, and NH rely largely on the service industry and tourism to pay the bills. We need places for these people to stay when they visit, but not at the expense of our neighborhoods and our ability to house our population. We need to strike a balance. That’s what that proposal does, protecting the community, and balancing the rights of owners with the need to curtail the growth of STR’s. 🤷🏽‍♂️
