Survey on Short Term Rentals <br /> 364 Short term rentals take away housing from people who actually work in our community. It is 2/4/2025 7:35 PM <br /> incredibly difficult for people who work in upper county to find housing here, leading to many <br /> commuters from Ellensburg where there is more affordable housing. <br /> 365 Short term rentals are ruining neighborhoods.

How to be a good <br /> 'visitor"should be a lesson taught in school. I don't think many of the rentals around me take <br /> into account they truly are visiting and should value the experience! Especially in a small town. <br /> 391 Short term rentals bring in tourist. It also allows people to buy homes over in our county 2/4/2025 6:08 PM <br /> because they have the option to rent it out when they are not using them while not being a <br /> landlord and taking on the liability that comes with full time rentals. <br /> 16/96 <br />
