Listen to A STORY OF A WAREHOUSE on our new podcast. Did you know #Barnstable thinks warehouses are cool in single family residential zones? https://t.co/nuxMHLdM0A
CAPE COD BREAK-IN SPREE RUN OUT OF #AIRBNB. This guy was nailed this week and arraigned in front of a #Barnstable County judge. Everyone knows Airbnb has no idea who it's sending to your neighborhood, and profiteers make money no matter who it is. News: https://t.co/fS4woBrLwS
All around the country, local governments (even in the most tourist-dependent places) have stood up to wealthy #Airbnb profiteers who wreck neighborhoods and the housing market. For years now, @BarnstableMA won't.
IMPORTANT Housing Committee meeting Dec 1 when we find out what issues the @BarnstableMA Town Council wants them to talk about. Listen here first. https://t.co/Ok9mA5pSou
You can be very concerned about the housing crisis, and also cool with single-family residential zoning. The real problem? #Airbnb and the like distort housing markets. #WSJ: in popular places now, 1 in 5 homes are bought by people who never live in them.
The state of Massachusetts has strict laws about public pools vs private. Swimply renting is illegal. @BarnstableMA officials were told this months ago and have turned blind eye. Surprised? Naw.
WE ARE PODCASTING! Great local reporters and papers everywhere are gutted by hedge funds, and accountability loses. We're amateur newbies, but trying. Click link: https://t.co/nuxMHLdM0A
Hey @BarnstableMA, watched the meeting where you said private residential pool rentals are illegal in Massachusetts. This #Swimply listing is still up. Enforcement? https://t.co/tT5qU8dnM8
LIVE IN #BARNSTABLE? Make coffee or tea and watch this presentation we were asked to make to a village meeting. Every fact in it is true for all villages. https://t.co/dSPBGBWyB7
There was a life-and-death shooting of a minor at an #Airbnb in @BarnstableMA last year, followed by a neighborhood lockdown and manhunt by a huge police response. Papers wouldn't report. Could be that the #STR is owned by a town official. Could be this.

Every year, Detroit makes the “Worst Places to Live” list. But when the city passed #STR regulations, it said you can only #Airbnb your actual home, and only 90 total days per year. Investors can forget it. Here in @BarnstableMA#CapeCod, we're nowhere near as good as Detroit.
Beyond #STRs and getting ready to be a formal, permanent non-profit (or at least permanent until we see good changes, we do have other things to do). https://t.co/OljxnjTSZy
