If STR's are eliminated in areas where the didn't belong in the first place, status quo continues, albeit rolled back to where everything should have been in the first place.

Of course, some folks are all about how much money they can make and don't have any qualms about destabilizing the neighborhoods where they buy homes.
Your summary is quite true I believe, and would add since they do not live in the neighborhoods they impact, of course they don't care if they are destabilized. I tend to think in this community the word "motel" is more appropriate than "hotel", but that's just mho. I tend to think of hotels as having more services, a central lobby, etc. I wonder if many villages residents would have "passed" on investing in a home here if they had known there were no restrictions on such things ? Maybe it's not of much importance to most people ? Have no idea !
