Pacific Grove Neighbors United led the campaign in support of Measure M.

[Pacific Grove Neighbors United @PGNeighbors]

As of May 28, 2020, STR licenses for residential property outside the Coastal Zone have expired and cannot be reissued. STR licenses are now limited to residential property within the coastal and commercial zones. Home Sharing (room rentals in resident occupied homes) continues.

@tinmantc @StealthQE4 Wrong! Pacific Grove voters did not "ban" short-term vacation rentals. They still bring in around $1.2 million - see attached chart.

Court Ruling (link below) against @GoldwaterInst attorney @cmsandefur:

“Plaintiffs’ characterization of their interest, however, depends on a misreading of the City’s short-term rental regulatory scheme and a loose patchwork of mismatched authorities.”

Another VICTORY for Measure M!

Appellate court rules against @GoldwaterInst attorney @cmsandefur:

“… plaintiffs fail to establish that they held any right—vested or otherwise—in the renewal of short-term rental licenses expressly limited in term…”

@GoldwaterInst to pay costs

[Pacific Grove Neighbors United @PGNeighbors]

Justice Cynthia Lie to attorney @cmsandefur: “you’re asking us to endorse some of your abstract legal principles without a trial record…that’s a tactical election (blunder) on your part.”

Arguments in Hobbs begin at 2h28m (link to video below).

The same old tired arguments trotted out once again by the Goldwater Institute @GoldwaterInst

Another win!

“All vacation rentals would be treated as commercial ventures requiring discretionary use permits and review rather than considering them as similar to existing residential uses.”

Another @Airbnb myth busted!

[Pacific Grove Neighbors United @PGNeighbors]

“SB 1049 would authorize a city and county to impose a fine of up to $5,000 for a violation of a short-term rental ordinance.”

“This decision was expected and reasonable, and establishes a good long term policy for the City and residents.” Well said!

If they really wanted to cash in these “hosts” would sue themselves for violating land use regulations around the globe.

Monterey County Health Officer has issued a revised order regarding short term lodging facilities (link below).

GOOD. #Airbnb investors (not the real room-sharers) "now face financial ruin as their business model – a sort of ponzi scheme built off the back of Airbnb’s market-busting rental yields – turns to dust in the grip of coronavirus." https://t.co/gGEoD1rn7N

@cmsandefur Yeah, those damn “lutmoded” zoning regulations!

[Pacific Grove Neighbors United @PGNeighbors]

@ManleyLiberty @cmsandefur @GovWhitmer @dougducey Hey @ManleyLiberty why don’t you describe all of the long-term residents displaced by short-term vacation rentals? Without “wise leadership” from people like @GovWhitmer we’d all be homeless! AZ voters know Governor @dougducey got it wrong.

[Jim Manley @ManleyLiberty]

We started a remodel in January and have been living in short term rentals since March. If I still lived in MI under the heavy handed rule of @GovWhitmer, my family would be homeless. Grateful to live in AZ, with the wise leadership of @dougducey instead.

"If we have a chance to regulate @Airbnb or similar platforms during the days when there are no tourists, it would be beneficial. People would like to live in the city as permanent residents," Hrib said.

@MamaLla57855636 @cnulty @Fairbnbcanada @InsideAirbnb @Airbnb Of course not, @cnulty is too busy virtue signaling...bleck! If @Airbnb wants to be virtuous they can start by removing the thousands and thousands of listings that violate local zoning rules and displace long-term residents.

Monterey County has declared that all transient lodging (including STRs) “may stay open to support essential businesses and sectors but must not be open for vacation or leisure activity...Activity or advertisement to the contrary is subject to enforcement by the Sheriff Office.”
