Also: Temp rentals are destroying lots of communities. You should see how my hood has changed after 13 years with people doing temporary rentals.
Especially “airbnb” that FACILITATES AND ENABLES HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
And it’s certainly enabling the drug trafficking industry, too. Nonstop - and I do mean NONSTOP - people babbling, ranting, making threats. Insurance rates going through the roof. Cooking meth and growing “legal weed.” Someone who owns a cabin in CA reports the same thing: Homeowners insurance UP 700%. And it’s like we’re a tourist attraction here - “Oh, who’s that?” *derogatory, slanderous remarks follow, then squawks of laughter* IT NEVER STOPS.
(And lately it’s been: “Isn’t she J3rry S3infeld’s mistress?” - NO FREAKING WONDER MR AND MRS SEINFELD SOLD THEIR COLORADO RANCH A FEW MONTHS AGO AND LEFT THE STATE.)
This was Mr K and his wife’s dream home. They raised their kid here. Mr K’s wife died of cancer in 2006. He almost lost his home and recovered when I moved in. Our lives have been affected in quite a dire way by this “bed and breakfast” BU11SH1T.
F*** EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.
Please sell your property here and leave. Thanks.

Yep. A good friend of mine retired, and decided to run an Airbnb for a little extra income. Well, that was a good idea until it wasn’t.
Maybe three months in my friend rented a guy a room for a week. Almost immediately the guy started running prostitutes out of the room. And he wouldn’t leave after the week, or pay any further rent.
Sorry, said the cops. This is a civil matter. You’ve got to file eviction papers, and then wait. This went on for two months! Finally my friend paid the guy to leave. He wouldn’t say how much. I think he was too embarrassed.
Oh come on, don’t hold back. Tell us how you really feel. ;-D
Calling BS on this one without specific examples. Sounds like someone watched too much “Breaking Bad” if STR’s are growing weed and cooking meth.
You seem stressed.
Summary
Definitely struck a nerve or two there. Don’t hesitate to tell us what you really think.
For the record, 44 years farm owners in central Florida, no HOA. Here in Colorado just over a year, HOA does community water and irrigation water supply. And does neither well. Can’t get a quorum for anything but handwringing. Four months no domestic water,( we’re on top of the hill with buried community tank), and plenty of irrigation water when it rains. Fire hydrants for show.
Drink beer, cider, bourbon. Buy ice. Hot springs in town. View from the decks are fantastic , but stay the blue away. ( and i haul our own water.)
