Neither make the local politicians look good, and just furthers the sentiment that politicians are either dumb or are pushing a shadow agenda.

Or, are most landlords in the "hold firm to the lease" sentiment (which I can respect too)? 

@Todd Powell while I agree with your sentiment, the reality is we can complain and fight change or we can figure out a business model that allows us to survive in the changing economic climate were tenants are asking us to do more for more people with less.

@Nick Troutman id echo the sentiment of caution, but want to add a note to the comment about not getting into multifamily.

Obviously, there are many that disagree with this sentiment. 

We're not likely to see major appreciation in the coming years, but I do think buyer sentiment will improve which will likely lead to better pricing via competitive offers vs. the current market. 

@Chris LevarekI share your sentiment: yes, REP is "the sweet spot" for some landlords.

I'm pretty much going to echo the sentiment of the others who have responded to this thread.

If you're all going to all be expressing these maudlin sentiments about self-actualization, purpose, fulfillment, happiness, and joy, at least let's get the A-team working on those. 

I think the sentiments will be against STRs vs in favor.
