Survey on Short-Term Rentals <br /> neighbors. We turned it around and managed it ourselves to help mitigate negative experiences <br /> from our neighbors. You do get a better product if managed properly. <br /> 31 We need to work on solutions for long term rental or living while allowing our communities to 2/12/2025 1:29 PM <br /> flourish with tourism. <br /> 32 1 don't believe large corporations should be allowed to buy up housing for short term. A 2/12/2025 12:49 PM <br /> homeowner should be able to rent out their own home(s)when they want <br /> 33 Need to be regulated and taxed- 2/12/2025 9:57 AM <br /> 34 Living close to Seattle drives up housing prices, I'm sure short term rentals add to that, but 2/12/2025 9:21 AM <br /> everyone should be free to do what they want with their property as long as it doesn't infringe <br /> on any neighbors. <br /> 35 Short term rentals are great for the community bringing in$and increasing property values. 2/11/2025 7:49 PM <br /> There is no need for more regulation, there is already too much regulation over citizens their <br /> rights and businesses. <br /> 36 Wevihad great experiences staying in STR's in Kittitas and providing an STIR in Kittitas. Great 2/11/2025 4:49 PM <br /> relationship with neighbors and appreciate the counties approach that seems to appreciate the <br /> economic impact STR's provide the community while not significantly impacting the affordable <br /> housing supply <br /> 37 Renters are clueless about the wild animals in the community -a cougar has been captured on 2/11/2025 3:16 PM <br /> Ring many times over last several months and little kids are playing outside after dark with <br /> distant supervision. We've heard coyotes and animals have disappeared. We've seen kids <br /> harass deer many times (one encouraged by dad) -clueless the deer can and will charge. <br /> 38 As a str owner in Kittitas County, I already pay property taxes, fees to cleaners and service 2/11/2025 2:15 PM <br /> people, my clients and I frequent local businesses and purchase gas, food etc... <br /> 39 We should continue the ability for property owners to rent their properties on a short-term 2/11/2025 11:20 AM <br /> basis. No change to the current environment and regulation. <br /> 40 1 have one next to me and it results in guests who do not care about their neighbors, or the 2/11/2025 10:57 AM <br /> community rules or norms. I would rather have a neighbor, with all the responsibilities and <br /> ownership a neighbor has to one another, than what is basically a hotel room. <br /> 41 Short term rentals should NOT be allowed in private communities like Sky Meadows, Pine 2/11/2025 10:34 AM <br /> Loch Sun This is not how they were intended to be used and have a negative impact on family <br /> /children safety, driving etc in these communities <br /> 42 STRs are a great economic driver for the community. Banning or restricting would cripple the 2/11/2025 10:18 AM <br /> local economy. I'm all for them, despite the fact that at times it creates complexity of living <br /> day to day in Cie Elum. <br /> 43 Short term rentals provide huge tax benefits for our cities and county, which improves 2/11/2025 9:48 AM <br /> infrastructure for all of us if funds are managed properly. Let's make our county welcoming and <br /> affordable for all tourists and future residents. <br /> 44 Please fight the urge to listen to a minority of short-minded people wanting to put restrictions 2/11/2025 9:26 AM <br /> on short-term rentals. Let the free market work. Take this crap back to the western side of <br /> Washington where it belongs <br /> 45 1 believe the economy in the Cie Elum/ Roslyn/ Ronald area significantly benefits from the 2/11/2025 9:15 AM <br /> tourism and recreation enabled by short term rentals. These are not houses that local folks <br /> who likely buy and they will not solve the issue of creating more affordable housing. They allow <br /> a significant flow of property tax dollars from westside(Seattle area) owners into Kittitas <br /> County. <br /> 46 Most of the rentals in the upper county are in Suncadia, or the recreational areas. Very few are 2/11/2025 9:04 AM <br /> in the city limits which would impact affordable housing supply and long-term rentals. <br /> 47 1 would like STRs to be confined to one area of town if we need them at all, and for there to be 2/11/2025 8:29 AM <br /> high taxes to support local infrastructure/services. <br /> 48 Short term rentals add greatly to economy of our County. I don't think they should be regulated 2/10/2025 11:05 PM <br /> because if there become too many of them some will fail. Let the market decide. Free market. <br /> 65/87 <br />
