Update: PLEASE DON'T GIVE MONEY TO CHANGE.ORG to promote petition. I believe its an ineffective way to promote awareness of the issue on a local level. I will be updating the website shortly to include a gofundme for bumperstickers and signs.

Short-term rentals are the root cause of our housing crisis

Ketchum needs to:

• Reduce the number of non-owner occupied Short-Term Rentals (STRs)
• Raise taxes on non-owner occupied STRs
• Institute a limit like Sandpoint Idaho on non-owner occupied STRs

Why are short-term rentals a problem? see here: https://www.airbnbkills5b.com/

• Short term-rentals take up housing stock
• Short-term rentals drive up property and rental prices
• Short-term rentals aren't taxed nearly enough
• Ketchum needs to step up its oversight, and enforce compliance with existing laws
• Ketchum residents overwhelmingly agree (81%) that taxes on short-term rentals need to increase
