Let me say right out that I am FOR STR’s. As I’ve said before, if you do get someone next to you that is a problem tenant, be glad they’re short term. They’ll be gone in a few days.
I rented here myself twice, as I expect other homeowners did, and I bought as soon as I found something. Think about residential real estate values.

I prefer continuity myself. If a neighbor is doing something wrong we can confer and discuss long term solutions for both of us. Brevity in a neighborhood just means “Who cares, I won’t see you for the rest of my life. I’m on vacation.”
Besides, why should landlords benefit from the rest of us? While we all keep a tight ship and landscape etc, an STR tenant may not.
There is a solution, just require landlords to stay at the residence when they are renting their unit out. Make licensing expensive so not everyone will take the leap to decide they want to run a hotel next to all their neighbors.
Some like a stable cohesive neighborhood without the disruptions of renters. I would measure most over age 60 would. Besides, how many buying a home are hoping they neighbor with a rental?
