[quote=FlyerInHi]The ban is new law. Not enforcement of existing laws. Why not enforce existing nuisance laws?

Remenber, short term leases don’t cause problems. People cause problems.

I’m confident things with change with technology and acceptance by the younger generations. It could however take a long, long time.

Like I said before, if you want to close your neighborhood to ST renters, others will do the same to you. What if you want to spend some time at a nice home in Santa Barbara or the French wine country to relax for 3 weeks? That option could be closed off — net loss for humanity.[/quote]

It will take a long, long time. The younger generations are renters now, so this decision should in theory directly benefit them. And seriously, could you afford regular 3 week vacations in your 20s? What do you consider to be young?
