Here’s a few topics you may want to communicate in your letters:
1. Density control
2. The importance of preserving our limited housing stock. State and local housing crisis, building moratorium, no growth town, no recovery from loss of converting a home, losing full time residents to visitors, short term vacation rentals drive up housing prices, they hurt residents, schools, churches, and businesses.
3. Preserve character of our neighborhoods, loss of community
4. Short term renters do not have a stake in the community, nor do out of town owners have a stake in our community, as in the case of 670 Santa Lucia (Santa Barbara County)
5. It may be several years until the Guidelines are in place as ordinance, until then our neighborhoods are at risk. The county’s pattern of permitting all vacation rentals no matter the location, if continued, will impact the integrity of the fabric of our community. It’s about preserving Residential Single Family neighborhoods, short term vacation rentals are a Secondary Use.
