Why would that be painful to others on the street? Doesn't seem like it has anything to do with them.

As to the "free" aspect. Its only free to your guests (if you so choose). Amenity fees on the residence still are paid. In fact an extra $50 must be paid to switch the IDs.

Renting and/or lending out a home is risky business because damage does occur. Even if you collect rent it typically barely covers carrying costs including cleaning and repairs. But that is a separate matter.
