Is the problem the short term renter status or is the problem the blocking of the driveway? If it's the former then let's get rid of the renters but if it's the latter then let's stop others from blocking driveways regardless of their reason for being here.
Take the rest of the alleged transgressions and fit them into the above paragraph. My answer is the same - the transgressions are transgressions regardless of the status of the person committing them.
I am skeptical of the widespread problems from renters. I've seen some pretty large numbers of rental properties claimed. If thousands of renters are causing problems there would be more than a few people complaining here on ToTV. I believe some renters do cause issues. I believe some fulltime neighbors cause issues. I know some snowbirds cause issues. Personally, getting rid of the snowbirds would improve my life much more than getting rid of the renters - who do I talk to about that?

I could not disagree more about the snowbirds. I live next door to a couple that is here for only 5 months a year and it is great. If there were no snowbirds then you would have winter like traffic all year round.
I have never met one that I believe wouldn't make a great next door neighbor.
