No. If we're not allowed to simply shoot them, they have to live somewhere. I'd rather they were in TV, than in a neighborhood of children. I think TV has one of the highest percentage of gun owners in the USA. We can take care of ourselves, kids can't. |

2. Are you saying that by definition, someone who rents for 30 days is of better character than those who rent for 29 days or less? Or is the dividing point between people who are acceptable in the villages 7 days vs 8 days? Or some other arbitrary number? 3. Are the numer of complaints the correct metric? or is it the number of problems/issues caused? |

Having an Airbnb in the neighborhood is dangerous because someone might be shot in front of it? Visiting an airbnb is dangerous because someone might come by and shoot you? Criminals are more likely to shoot you in front of an airbnb? Birthday parties are dangerous because people get shot when talking to criminals in cars that drive by? Or is your point simply that the word airbnb appeared in an article about a crime?

Number 2. Yes. By observation. Number 3. I don’t know if the number of complaints are imperial or metric but they are NUMEROUS. |

1. Do you know of a single person who did a background check on the person(s) to whom they were SELLING their homes? Do you consider someone who SELLS their home to someone without a background check a slumlord? Maybe that is why we are having issues because we don't agree on definitions. From oxford dictionary: slumlord: a landlord of slum property, especially one who profiteers. a. someone who SELLS is not a landlord b. the villages has very few "slum" properties. 2. Wow. Your observation. Is that a universal standard or does it only apply to the villages? I am curious as to the size of your sample. 3. My question was, is the number of complaints the proper method of measure or is it the actual problems? If one person complains 100 times, but they are the only one who sees any problem, is that worse than a situation where all 30 people that live nearby complain because the person is disturbing all of them, driving on their grass, blocking their driveways, etc. |

However, I think I'll commit a politically incorrect faux pas (like I've never done it before) and "profile" some of the neighbors one might encounter if the property next to you gets sold: a) Year round owner. Probably your best lottery draw, although there are exceptions. The down side: If they suck, you're stuck with them long term, or you move. But 99% of the time you should be fine b) Snowbird/Snowflake, especially occupying 6+ months and vacant the rest of the year. Should do fine, they have the pride of ownership and are part of "the hood" when they are here. Usually enlist neighbors help to watch out for their property. c) Same as b), as well as those who bought for a retirement in the relatively near term, but rent the house out for no less than 1 month leases while they are away. Again, not usually a problem. They usually have a management company vet prospective tenants and keep the place clean, and again feel invested in the neighborhood. d) Property bought solely on speculation to rent out, but haven't excluded moving into at some future date. Also renting out for a minimum of 1 month Getting a bit less desirable, but usually responsive to legitimate complaints e) Property solely bought as an investment to run THE BUSINESS of STR/Airbnb. Motivated solely by income, will rent to anyone, couldn't care less about the neighborhood or the community. And what type of renter does such a place attract? Certainly not a nice 65 year old couple looking seriously at moving here. No, it attracts 20 somethings, young families with kids, especially teenagers, partiers who view TV as centrally located, bargain hunters, maybe someone with an RV looking to stay in one place for a little bit. Late night drunken parties?? why not? Kids run amok??? sure. Disrespect neighbor's property. Of course. So, yes, there is no arbitrary time frame for getting a good or bad neighbor, but which scenario do you think is most likely to yield the proverbial rotten apple? And of course, if STRs were such a good thing, why are all these people on TOTV complaining. Why has Clearwater effectively banned them. Why has Orlando and now NYC taken steps to severely curtail their proliferation? There are appropriate places for STR---they're called motels If the identity of TV is a 55+ active lifestyle retirement community, then we should take steps to preserve our identity before we become a motel shantytown, with all the crime and other problems that come with that. |

Orlando has done the opposite. They used to be prohibited in Residential Districts, now Orlando allows them. I know it's sometime inconvenient to ascertain the facts, but facts matter. Whether NYC has "taken steps to severely curtail their proliferation", is debatable. NYC now requires"Registration" if you operate an STR and requires you to pay the proper taxes. They didn't do anything that changes what properties can be used as an STR. Facts matter. |

Not at all. Merely pointing out that the information you posted about Orlando & NYC isn't factual.
As for Clearwater, if you take the time to read my Post #102, it explains exactly how Clearwater was able to be Grandfathered and have the power to regulate STR's. People on this thread don't seem to want to deal with the facts. The land in The Villages is subject to the underlying zoning of the town/county it's located in. The CDD's don't have zoning power, nor can the CDD's ban STR's, pursuant to Florida Law. The only possible way to significantly change the STR situation in TV that I can think of, is to get a Judge to rule that either the underlying zoning prohibits them and did prior to 2011, or the "business use" language in the Deed Restrictions prohibits them. |

You think TV is one of the highest percentage of gun owners in the USA? You need to get out of your cocoon. If you own a gun, take it to Texas or any rural area in the USA and see how you will fare.

My stomach churns when I watch these videos. Free advertisement for the STR owners that goes out to the masses. On another note: While looking at preowned homes for sale, one listing caught my attention. It is described as a ready-to-go STR/AIRbnb. 4338 Zeppelin Road. (Listings on MLS are not private. I am doing no harm by posting the address) Is this a new way to sell homes?? Last edited by margaretmattson; 09-12-2023 at 04:58 AM. |
