Survey on Short Term Rentals <br /> have outdoor fires during our Bum Bans, animals off leash running around, garbage left out and <br /> dogs and bears get into it. Trespassing and taking over our community beach on the Yakima <br /> River common area. Making it unusable for my children during the times they are here. Leaving <br /> trash at the beach on the river. The list goes on. Just extremely frustrating. <br /> 184 They put neighbors on point to deal with the renters. Late parties, dogs barking and running 2/5/2025 8:36 AM <br /> loose, having camp fires and fireworks during the summer... <br /> 185 You don't know your neighbors anymore 2/5/2025 8:33 AM <br /> 186 With neighbors consistantly changing,we are unable to create and keep a working relationship 2/5/2025 8:17 AM <br /> with those we live near. When teh neighborhood consistantly changes,you are unable to create <br /> a safe environment for teh kids, pets, livestock. You never know who is going to show up next <br /> or what their intentions are. <br /> 187 It brings in people that are more prone to crime, violence, &drugs. 2/5/2025 8:13 AM <br /> 188 Going only based on the long term rental next door, I no longer know who my neighbor is. 2/5/2025 8:01 AM <br /> 189 STIR customers invade our neighborhood with no concern for the people who live here. They 2/5/2025 7:45 AM <br /> ride ATVs or snow machines through the neighborhood at all hours. They play music outside <br /> loudly at all hours. They allow their aggressive pets to roam freely. And they overfill the <br /> garbage cans leaving it for bears to get into. <br /> 190 Transient nature of STIR erode neighborly communication as any attempt to remind renters of 2/5/2025 7:29 AM <br /> the rules they did not read or did not intend to follow is met with outrage and owner says to call <br /> police rather than taking any responsibility to intervene. <br /> 191 Strange vehicle/people walking in our community. Driving to fast though neighborhoods. Public 2/5/2025 7:16 AM <br /> intoxication. Strangers coming to our door at odd hours wanting to borrow tools, kitchen <br /> appliances, not furnished in rental. <br /> 192 No longer neighbors. Especially up in Hyak it has gotten worse to the point that every weekend 2/5/2025 7:09 AM <br /> is a new party house popping up. <br /> 193 People coming and going have no tie to the community and the property owner is concerned 2/5/2025 7:09 AM <br /> with keeping the unit occupied for revenue. Families and locals are more prone to move away <br /> since housing and rent prices continue to increase yet economic opportunity in Ellensburg <br /> remains fairly stagnant. <br /> 194 1 believe short-term rentals negatively affect the sense of community in my neighborhood 2/5/2025 7:03 AM <br /> because they replace long-term neighbors with a constant flow of tourists who have no <br /> investment in the area. The beach, once a place for locals to gather and connect, is now <br /> overcrowded with short-term visitors who don't respect or understand the community's values. <br /> With so many temporary guests,there's no opportunity to build relationships, and the <br /> neighborhood starts to feel more like a commercialized resort than a real home. <br /> 195 Way less neighborhood kids, and for someone with kids,that sucks. 2/5/2025 7:02 AM <br /> 196 My neighborhood is always a rotating group of strangers who treat the area like their own 2/5/2025 6:47 AM <br /> personal playground/party ground without any respect for those of us who live here full time. <br /> 197 Its spring break party all year long! 2/5/2025 6:32 AM <br /> 198 renters have no clue on HOA rules 2/5/2025 6:27 AM <br /> 199 We started community meetings i 2/5/2025 2:25 AM <br /> 200 My community has seen an exodus of residents as short term rentals have become more 2/4/2025 10:54 PM <br /> common than long term rentals or home ownership <br /> 201 If it is owned by a big corporation out of town or the state then the property can become trashy 2/4/2025 10:42 PM <br /> looking(long grass/trash around house)or have problem tenants. You also don't really get to <br /> know your neighbor that way, so that can cause a sense of unease. But if the owner lives in <br /> town and is a face seen often then I think that will ease that concern. <br /> 202 Given citizen the opportunity to better financially support themselves by offering part of their 2/4/2025 10:00 PM <br /> property up as short term rentals <br /> 203 Never know who is coming and going at rentals 2/4/2025 9:46 PM <br /> 35/96 <br />
