I am not sure why you are interjecting partisan politics into this discussion, it seems a little gratuitous. I also never said there were $500 condos on the east side. In fact I said resort condos, and I am pretty sure we all know there are no resorts on this side. So are your arguments for your position so weak that you have to interject partisan politics and set up straw man arguments, or do you have legitimate points to make?

I understand that people such as yourself with vacation rentals may have legitimate issues with this bill, my experiences were all from the side of the renter and it was not good. Please, make your points, but don't stoop to straw man arguments and petty partisan political attacks, it undermines your points.

Sorry Carol, but not anymore partisan or straw man than what's being posted in support of this bill, using the example of a few to label the many. No moreso than your own example of the 500/nt resort condos because they are by far the minority and even lesser so as owner managed. The vast majority of those types properties are already managed by agencies.

My interest in this bill is the future. I would in no way be affected in its present form. Unfortunately government likes to control by bits and pieces. In this case go after the nonresidents with no vote, play on the emotional issues that garner the support of the actual voters and once the dust settles take the next step, the next, the next. I'll guess most of the people on PW can come up with an example or two, especially if they take the emotion out of it. Notice how my example made it emotional for you? Otherwise you likely wouldn't care.
