Am I wrong in suggesting that it is just possible you own STRs?
Did I wrongly infer that you would attempt to circumvent restrictions on STRs
Please, elucidate us, what is your point?

I do not own any STR's. I do not support STR's. I believe they de-stabilize neighborhoods and should be prohibited in Residentially zoned areas.
What I personally like and believe, if irrelevant to the discussion. They are in fact a reality in TV and elsewhere. Legislatures and Courts all over the United States, have supported STR's and have almost universally ruled in favor of them. That's the reality. Not what I'd like to see, but it is what it is.
Personally, I think the problem in TV is vastly over-stated. Not only do I believe it's over-stated, I think it was naive of anyone to buy a home in TV and not anticipate it would become a haven for Investors (I can understand not anticipating STR's, as they essentially didn't exist 10 years ago.)
From what I've learned on this thread, there are apparently only about 1000 TV homes, in STR service? That's not a "general problem", it's a localized problem for the folks who live near the poorly managed ones.
If there are 1000 STR's in TV, at least 1/2 of them must be reasonably well managed. In theory, most investors are professionals.
STR's in TV probably average about 50% occupancy. Higher in the winter, lower in the summer.
So now we have 500 "poorly managed STR's", that are vacant 50% of the time. At worst, we have 6-8 homes effected by each "poorly managed" STR ... & only 1/2 the time.
About 3% of the population of TV, has the possibility of being effected ... and only once in a while.
If you're one of the 3%, it's a pain. A lot like having a bad neighbor, but now you get to use a label and have a target.
I just don't see it as a huge problem. The #'s don't support that conclusion.
If 10% of TV was in STR usage, that might be a different story from a livability point of view, but still the same regulatory problem ... there's not much that can done about it.
