Hosted (owner occupied) Short Term Vacation Rentals

[VancouverIslander]

This sounds nuts. It is already bad enough without making it worse. Hotel prices are out of this world. Being a landlord here is a very risky business and at this point there isn't even a lot of expectation for capital gains to make it worth while as prices have already had a long run up. There's plenty of land for people to build on with at least roads, power poles and Hawaiian Telecom for infrastructure. In short there's room for both residential use as well as STVR and LTVR uses. Making it difficult for local people to do these things to help pay for their homes is silly and short sighted.
