Survey on Short Term Rentals is a problem as well. 186 If no STIR; we would lose local jobs, existing businesses would see less traffic/use,visitors 2/7/2025 3:56 PM would be less likely to make return visits, local owners would have less money to spend and invest locally. Housing values would drop at least initially,throwing into doubt how viable the pass is for home ownership. The perception of a"locals only" community would stilt any further increase in the economy. A community known to shun outsiders would be less able to attract the folks that would create new restaurants,facilities, services and experiences. Shunning outsiders, or labelling visitors"citiots" is isolationist and divisive, and selfish in a '.me first" sense,which is disingenuous for 95%of the community. There are very few natives at the pass, everyone came from elsewhere. So they were new once too. What's changed?If you are into non-growth areas where you can write the manifesto...if that's your interest,why live in a resort town? 187 Cost of living is immense in this modern age. I personally would'nt be able to afford my 2/7/2025 3:34 PM mortgage here if I didn't have a Short term rental on my property. it also provides another individual with an income to do commerce within the community. 188 Tourism boosts the economy and allows local home owners the ability to earn income off their 2/7/2025 3:29 PM homes. 189 People using short term rentals may buy gas, groceries,visit restaurants or shop with local 2/7/2025 3:12 PM businesses. 190 STIR renters do not contribute to a sense of community. Creates a burden on local resources. 2/7/2025 3:04 PM 191 Much needed benefit to local businesses. 2/7/2025 2:53 PM 192 As a neighbor to one it's annoying to have loud partner on weekends when you go to your 2/7/2025 2:42 PM cabin to relax 193 tourist dollars 2/7/2025 2:39 PM 194 Absolutely,they provide a positive impact to the local economy. Short term rentals generate 2/7/2025 2:30 PM income for local businesses through tourist spending on services like accommodation,food, transportation, and attractions, creating new jobs in the hospitality sector, boosting demand for local products, and often leading to improvements in infrastructure development within the community. They also provide a place for local residents friends and family to stay when they come visit. They also provide a potential income option for local residents who are increasingly squeezed by raising costs/inflation. 195 If people are coming to a short term rental most of the time it's to cut costs on things such as 2/7/2025 2:11 PM eating out. With a restaurant heavy area it's needed. It also contributes to the problem of affordable housing in the areas so those who could actually spend money here regularly. And not just at a restaurant or the grocery store but the clothing stores, the dr offices, dentists, daycares, drop in playgrounds, etc. 196 They hurt property values of surrounding homes. 2/7/2025 1:32 PM 197 My feeling is that short term rental properties are never well kept. The owners tend to do as 2/7/2025 12:42 PM little as possible to rent the property. Can take away from the aesthetics of the community. 198 $to business and property owners 2/7/2025 12:38 PM 199 They do not build community. Just tourist draining on our limited resources. 2/7/2025 11:50 AM 200 They are good for business. But increase crowds and prices for locals 2/7/2025 11:34 AM 201 They bring money into the economy, by going to our local coffee house and restaurants 2/7/2025 10:35 AM 202 income 2/7/2025 10:34 AM 203 Bring in tourism dollars. Provide places to stay better suited for families than a hotel. 2/7/2025 10:13 AM 204 Many of these homes have back yards connected right to the ski slope. That's their entire 2/7/2025 10:12 AM purpose. 205 its a ski resort for god sakes! 2/7/2025 10:10 AM 206 A limited amount yes, helps with tourism, and brings local dollars if the renters shop local. 2/7/2025 9:57 AM 9/96
