People who want to avoid location-based buyer's remorse might well want to try out multiple locations before purchasing. Long term rentals would be a costly way to avoid that.
The pejorative "snow birds" appears often on TOTV. It probably is used the most by the same people who want TV to be fully occupied by eliminating short term rentals - but they are not thinking that way, of course. That seems inexplicable, unless both positions come from those with a tendency to complain.

Where do you live?
Did you rent various homes in your neighborhood before you bought, to make sure it was "right neighborhood for you"?
If you interviewed a 1000 people on the street anywhere but in TV, if they "rented a few homes in their neighborhood before they bought their house", 999 would say .... "huh? Of course not, who does that"?
