I agree that your opinion is just as valid as mine, but I disagree with your opinion 100%.

History tells us that the developer has no trouble selling homes as quickly as he can build them, even without a single sale to "investors". Hopefully "the family" has the wisdom to realize that.

I think that a wholesale transformation into a motel shantytown is contrary to the expectation of all. Where the disagreement comes is if that is what is ocurring. The problem is small (NOT THE EFFECTS ON THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL THEM!] It has the potential for growing large as you state with hyperbole (shantytown? Really????) , and efforts to prevent that should be taken.

Please provide post numbers on this thread or the other where anyone has stated or implied that they are just fine, that they pose no problems, and there is nothing that can be done. You won't find a single one.
You will find posts that attempt to refute the frequency of the issues, that relay personal experiences that have not been negative, that disagree with the methods that people want to use to address the problem. Why is it necessary to attribute positions to people that they have in no way conveyed just because they have not jumped on your bandwagon? Here is a recommendation. If you think someone on this thread has that position, ask them. Do you support STRs? Do you think there are no problems with STRs? Do you think nothing can be done about STRs? Stop saying that they have a position that they have clearly not stated! I have never commented on how things could be done. So I will assume that I know whom you are talking about on that (even though you attributed that both people). In that person's most recent post on the other thread, they listed several things that have been offered that they felt would not work and why. They offered the suggestion they thought WOULD work. You and everyone else has the right to disagree with their opinions. But stop saying they or anyone else has said nothing can be done. THAT is a lie.

That statement is a lie. The person claimed that Orlando previously forbade STRs and was grandfathered under the state law which says they cannot be forbidden. They CORRECTLY asserted that the new regulations in Orlando were actually a relaxation of rules against STRs, not an increase. They stated that certain bodies in the villages do not have the authority to enact similar rules because it is outside the scope of their authority. They stated that other bodies in the villages do have the authority but posited that they do not have the motivation or the will. I guess I could be wrong on your lie, but please provide the number of the post that supports your statement.
Two people on this thread have not 100% supported the statements by you and the others. They have corrected the inaccuracies and offered differing opinions on the success of certain methods.
An intelligent person would thank these two for helping to sharpen and refine your statements and methods. IF (proverbial) you would listen to them, as you move forward in efforts to fix the problem, you would take the avenues with the most likely chance of success, and you would be putting forth arguments that do not contain lies, mistatements, or exaggerations.
