I understand where you are coming from Josh. However like myself, what you buy to live in now, may become a rental for you some day in the future.

Certainly though the valuation of homes there in no way is detracted by the short term rental nature of that particular area because that is exactly what that area is suited for. As for living in that location year round, that is another story because being surrounded by zonies for 3 months out of the year is kind of tough.
