They're a financial boondoggle for government. STR's raise property values and generate revenue ... which is why state governments all over the USA are supporting them ... just like Florida has.
Why do you think the State of Florida passed a law that PREVENTED local governments from banning STR's?
Trying to establish credibility by blatant and vociferous assertion, is part of what makes the Internet the wasteland it is. People without a clue, with little or no experience in a subject, can't wait to assert their uneducated and naive opinion and present it as fact.

So,just asking for the TRUTH so I am not naive as to why the sates of Florida, and all others desire more short term rental property in (once ?) stable neighborhoods and community developments ? Every time a property in the Villages is rented, for a night, or a weekend, does the STATE collect a tax from the land lord ? What about the county ? Do land lords here have to pay a tax to the county on each night's transaction, much like a motel, which actually, they are ! ? If the State and the county are making money on every night's rental, plus the land lord pays property taxes of course, so that would explain things a bit more !
