I am a frequent visitor to your island. It is a perspective you have provided not considered. I'm writing to ask you to reject
proposals that seek to limit home sharing platforms.
We are a family.We are responsible respectful people who embrace the opportunity to stay in accommodations that are
intimate and meaningful experiences that you cannot find in a hotel type of stay.
•
We have met many wonderful hosts who are are responsible,who take extra care to ensure their guests safe and taken care of
and are respectful of the communities where they are staying, hosts who encourage us to frequent local businesses and
support this economy.
Short-term rentals are an essential part of your economy.Your visitors help support the livelihood of local workers help provide
economic benefits to the entire community.
It is disappointing to learn that County Supervisors are considering severe limits on short-term rentals,which benefit so many
residents and local businesses that so many visitors like my family and the millions of other visitors here directly support.
Please protect this wonderful alternative for families coming to your wonderful island,which supports residents and business
in your community.
Sincerely,
Jeff and Tracy Soileau
