Ej you’re right its not over. The city council can’t please both groups. Those who want a total ban on STRs and those who claim it’s legal period.
I was at the city council meeting this week. Those in support of STRs were a diverse group. Those against were angry old and white. Pretty much any issue that is supported by that group I’m on the other side and I was ambivalent at best about whole home rentals.
By the way, they aren’t yet illegal because there is no case law against the ban. The city code says they are illegal, but different attorneys within the city have rendered different opinions, so the jury is still out.
