I wrote my book Side Hustle Revolution (available on Amazon) because I watched smart people fail at side hustles for one reason: they executed without a system. Everything I post here is built on that framework.
@KarenBassLA LOL. How about addressing the rampant crime and cost of living issues in Los Angeles? You think those things don't affect film production in the city?
@MattSeedorff Too bad the Long Beach city council is filled with incompetent boobs ill equipped to handle disasters like these. They’d rather plan Pride parades, debate e-scooter policy and sneakily plot more tax increases.
@HedoniaAnn@OrevaZSN It’s rare that any town has both the desire and enforcement staff to adequately monitor Airbnbs. As a next door neighbor to one of these hotels, I was forced out of my California home due to inadequate enforcement of the ordinance.
@slave_2_liberty The sad fact is that most city councils in California are highly favorable to this kind of insanity and could care less about neighborhood destruction.
In Long Beach, years were spent on implementing such a program with little seriousness about enforcement. Just like the short-term rental ordinance, the city isn’t equipped and could care less about real enforcement as long as they can get a cut. Then the corrupt council people who vote this in will blame any problems on a few “bad actors” then look the other way as problems mount.
@lalovestrump Zoning no longer exists in most of LA. You can turn your home into a hotel (airbnb) and now a restaurant. Who in their right mind would want to live next door to this?
@EpochPremium In Long Beach, you can turn your home into a hotel (airbnb) and now a restaurant - and if you live next to this and suffer due to the neighborhood disruption, parking, etc - too bad! the city will paint you as the enemy.
