As a real-life example, consider an elderly couple who bought their lake house in the 1950s but aren't necessarily wealthy. Now, the widow requires constant nursing care which can be incredibly expensive. The income generated from a short term rental is actually paying for her care and helping to keep the house in the family. This may be their only option to keep the property and retire there in the future.
It's important to consider the individual circumstances and potential benefits before dismissing short term rentals altogether.

All true. But, when the property owner refuses to address short term rental issues like parking, noise and garbage. A city or town must actively get involved to protect others. We have three short term rentals in our neighborhood. Not permitted by the city. However, the owners are responsive when issues arise
