Survey on Short Term Rentals <br /> 207 1 work as a short term rental cleaning business/employee. I'd prefer to remain anonymous. 2/7/2025 9:22 AM <br /> 208 Most people do there shopping before they leave to go on vacation 2/7/2025 8:52 AM <br /> 209 1 believe it victimizes people in the community who are genuinely wanting to by an affordable 2/7/2025 8:34 AM <br /> house in the community <br /> 210 They bring noise, sometimes out of control partners, and they lack respect for the surrounding 2/7/2025 8:21 AM <br /> neighbors. Not all, but over 70% in my direct experience. <br /> 211 1 think people come and stay and spend money at local businesses which is great, but there is 2/7/2025 5:59 AM <br /> not a healthy balance right now for long term renting <br /> 212 They park illegally, throw loud parties well after Normal hours, trespass in neighbor's yards , 2/6/2025 10:36 PM <br /> don't pick up after their dogs and litter the roads <br /> 213 Absoulutly, short term rentals have allowed for my neighbors and I to have an extra source of 2/6/2025 10:23 PM <br /> income to support our families and hobbies <br /> 214 It brings people outside of the community into the community to experience the things that we 2/6/2025 10:07 PM <br /> enjoy. <br /> 215 Too many profiteers squeezing every dime out of a house that should be occupied fill time. 2/6/2025 8:29 PM <br /> 216 No considerable increase above other lodging options already in place 2/6/2025 6:57 PM <br /> 217 Short-term rentals (STRs)contribute positively to local economies in several ways: 1. 2/6/2025 6:53 PM <br /> Increased Tourism Spending—STRs attract more visitors, who then spend money at local <br /> restaurants, cafes, shops, and attractions, boosting revenue for small businesses. 2. Job <br /> Creation—The STR industry supports jobs in cleaning, property management, maintenance, <br /> and concierge services, creating employment opportunities for locals. 3. Diversified Lodging <br /> Options—STRs provide affordable and unique lodging alternatives, attracting different types of <br /> travelers who may not have visited otherwise. 4. Higher Tax Revenue—Many cities impose <br /> occupancy taxes on STRs, generating additional tax revenue that can fund public services, <br /> infrastructure, and local programs. 5. Support for Local Vendors—STR owners often source <br /> furniture, decor, and supplies from local businesses,further stimulating economic activity. 6. <br /> Increased Property Values—When managed responsibly, STRs can drive up demand for <br /> housing, increasing property values and potential tax contributions. 7. Encouragement of <br /> Property Upkeep—Many STR owners invest in renovations and regular maintenance, which <br /> can improve neighborhood aesthetics and property standards. <br /> 218 People overpaying for short term rentals affects local prices for standard goods 2/6/2025 6:43 PM <br /> 219 From an economical perspective,yes. The business from folks on vacation dies gave an 2/6/2025 6:11 PM <br /> impact. However as a resident I do not think they out weigh the down side of impact on <br /> community. Not ever think is about money. <br /> 220 More tourist dollars 2/6/2025 5:05 PM <br /> 221 They bring in more great people that enjoy the area too!! 2/6/2025 4:52 PM <br /> 222 They help supply steady tourism and this the economy as a whole. 2/6/2025 4:40 PM <br /> 223 Good for tourism 2/6/2025 4:39 PM <br /> 224 The people are super rude and invasive and disrespectful of full time residentso 2/6/2025 4:19 PM <br /> 225 Short term rentals provide lodging opportunities for guests that are coming to town with a 2/6/2025 4:09 PM <br /> family or group that wouldn't be as enjoyable in a hotel,these visitors are going to events, and <br /> local shops, restaurants and bars, guide services and many more, enabling a notable amount <br /> of revenue for many local businesses while also allowing short term rental owners the <br /> opportunity to host these visitors and generate income to help make ends meet or sustain their <br /> livelihood <br /> 226 My sole income is from housekeeping service 2/6/2025 4:02 PM <br /> 227 Interest in community, support for local businesses, future investors in local real estate, future 2/6/2025 4:01 PM <br /> tax dollars. <br /> 228 Renters come up to party and be rowdy in our neighborhoods. The noise, litter, excessive 2/6/2025 3:41 PM <br /> vehicles, and general rudeness of renters makes the experience unpleasant for the community. <br /> 10/96 <br />
