My work often involves involuntarily confining them and enforcing mandated treatment.

Short term rental is a commercial business and the neighbors should be protected first Originally posted by @Lauren Kormylo:@Jesse Bull I stay at Airbnb’s in Woodstock for a few days every summer, so it pains me to tell you that in 2019, the town passed ridiculous laws governing short term rentals. https://www.dailyfreeman.com/n...The new policy mandates that short-term rental owners:• Rent to guests no more than 180 days per year and no more than 26 weekends per year.• Provide guests with copies of local laws regarding noise, fire and safety, as well as a map showing the boundary lines of neighboring properties.• Correct compliance issues within 24 hours of notification by the town.• Register with Ulster County for inclusion on a list of rental properties.• Post a safety/egress plan in a visible location inside the building and on the back of each bedroom door.• Provide the town Building Department with contact information for rental properties that are not owner-occupied.The new policy also states that short-term rental “homes” will be limited to renting out two bedrooms at a time, with no more than two guests per bedroom; while short-term rental “establishments” can have up to five bedrooms available, also with no more than two guests per room.Also, short-term rental sites that are nor owner-occupied will be required to have a designated person who lives within 10 miles who is “available to promptly deal with emergencies” and compliance issues.The Town Board has yet to set a limit on how many short-term rental properties can operate in Woodstock and has not yet established any fees that short-term rental operators could be required to pay. 

People aren't going to stay inside much longer no matter what a government official mandates.

@Davido Davido Using an unknown, locally unlicensed, out of state builder, without any relationships with Subs, mandating a super tight and probably unrealistic budget, with an unrealistic time frame?

This is an amazing side effect of this advent in China with strict quarantines mandated ... 

. #2 I didn't say I dont have savings, Just that its not a mandate#3 there are many reasons why an adult over 20 or 30 may not have savings.

I think we already reached the inflection point mate.Old school "Hard Yakka" has gone out the window.Look at folks getting their panties in a tangle with "return to office" company mandates hahaI'll stop there and and say no more so it doesn't get misconstrued but I"m not too optimistic over the next 20-30 years when it comes to the current work force maturing and being expected to "pull the weight".Thankfully we have AI and maybe even robotics taking over lol

Government is great at issuing mandates and fines to enforce, but not quite so good at providing funding to help with those mandates.Andrew brings up another good point about the unintended consequences of this law if it is allowed to stand exactly as it is right now.

While I'm familiar with Cleveland's lead mandate, I'm not at all with Toledo's.

What will not happen is an industry mandated solution.
