As a long time resident, I would think you would want to keep your neighborhood zoned as residential. Enforcing existing zoning laws is not “trying to take away rights of every property owner in San Diego”. I feel the opposite, people skirting laws by illegally running STVR are taking away my rights to a residential zoned property that I purchased.
gzz, what would your recommendation for STVR rentals be? Mine recommendation would have been to limit the number of STVR per neighborhood and make operators get licensed and pay fees. The limit would be set so that OB never gets to the point where 44% of homes are STVR’s, like MB, but more like %5 or less. However, I am happy with the recent decision to keep our residential neighborhoods for the actual residents, and this solution probably requires less regulation than what I suggested.
PS: I despise regulation and big government in general, but I do believe zoning laws should be enforced and any changes to them taken seriously. The unregulated STVR market was getting out of hand.
