I'm a short-term rental host and your constituent. I'm writing to ask you to reject proposals that limit our ability to continue
hosting.
Home sharing helps me earn supplemental income that is essential for me to cover expenses and keep up with the rising costs
of living. It helps to pay for my husbands medical expenses,who has cancer.
The majority of us are responsible hosts who take extra care to ensure our homes,guests,and local communities on the island
are safe and taken care of as we operate.
Short-term rentals are an essential part of our economy. Not only do hosts help employ local workers but our guests also help
support small businesses and provide economic benefits to the broader community.
Only recently has the economy begun to recover from the pandemic, and it is disappointing to learn that County Supervisors
are considering severe limits on short-term rentals,which benefit so many residents like my family and do benefit the
community and our`island economy.
Please protect our livelihoods and support residents living in our community.
