Survey on Short Term Rentals 131 Some people do not respect other people's property. 2/6/2025 8:26 PM 132 You don't have neighbors you know. It's selfish short timers that believe they have the right to 2/6/2025 6:43 PM be loud and disruptive. 133 The STIR renters have no interest in the community. Based upon my experience they are rude, 2/6/2025 6:11 PM have an excessive sense of entitlement and flagrant"I font care"attitudes. There is no incentive for them to have any respect for their actions. They will be gone in a few days. 134 Additional friendly faces to enjoy what we have to offer. Our neighbor has rented for years and 2/6/2025 4:52 PM developed regular renters that we enjoyed. 135 1 rent my home in Ellensburg on the weekends to make ends meet 2/6/2025 4:09 PM 136 When strangers invade our communities with their rude behavior, it is difficult to enjoy our 2/6/2025 3:41 PM peaceful mountain homes. They let their dogs poop on private property and don't clean up after them, let their children sled down an active roadway, and generallymake life uneasant for the locals. 137 Noisy, party's leave garbage everywhere 2/6/2025 3:33 PM 138 The neighborhood culturally has people in it. The local businesses have more visitors and are 2/6/2025 2:52 PM thriving. STRs ensure homes are not just owned by the wealthy. If STIRS are restricted you will see less revenues to local business and Suncadia will benefit. Only the uber rich will own homes and visit the area. Less visitors equals less business. 139 It promotes community, better than empty cabins. Short term rentals are fully insured and, in 2/6/2025 2:36 PM this area(Cie Elum, Roslyn, Ronald)the renters typically are paying a premium and are therefore thoughtful, responsible guests who enjoy the area. There always are bad apples, but that is true among permanent residents, too. 140 All the houses around me now short term rentals 2/6/2025 2:29 PM 141 If you are renting a house or a condo generally you are coming with a bunch of friends to have 2/6/2025 2:25 PM a good time...that's what vacation is for many people...add in alcohol and the outcome is a loud group of people having a good time...great for them...but not so good for permanent homeowners and long term renters 142 1 lost my long term rental of two years so that my landlord could make it a short term rental. 2/6/2025 2:10 PM As a full time ski area employee housing has been a serious issue for a lot of us. 143 Constant new people that do not respect the peace of the neighborhood, including speeding 2/6/2025 2:04 PM during winter conditions, parking in areas that block road access, and disrupting the quiet life. 144 Less neighborly, more traffic, less care for the properties. 2/6/2025 1:27 PM 145 Whole streets of house just sit empty and a lot of the time. 2/6/2025 10:56 AM 146 My neighborhood in Snoqualmie Pass is almost entirely short term rentals where I do not see 2/6/2025 10:35 AM the owners ever 147 Short term rentals, rentals of most any kind, often lack community & neighborhood 2/6/2025 10:10 AM involvement. Home owners are more invested in the neighborhood and condition of the home. 148 Fore the worse 2/6/2025 10:08 AM 149 From my experience those who own short term rentals use it as a way to make extra income. 2/6/2025 9:44 AM They don't contribute to the wellbeing of the community and only want a specific aesthetic. I've witnessed local children being yelled at for playing in the street"ruining my renters experience". 150 No one is renting houses or rooms to ski staff because they make more money with Airbnb 2/6/2025 9:39 AM and Vacasa 151 They reduce the sense of community compared to having a long term renter who actually lives 2/6/2025 9:36 AM in the community. 152 community pride and neighbor to neighbor relationships 2/6/2025 9:22 AM 153 Our community is supportive of STR's as they bring happy guests who want to enjoy their time 2/6/2025 8:56 AM away from home. 33/96
