It's like you expect me to feel bad for frickers who bought secondary homes during covid, did minimal upgrades, and churned them out as airbnbs and rental properties.

Maybe we can afford a house again?

This simply isn't true.

Again, I agree in straight up residential areas. OP linked an article for NYC. Which has, hotels in residential areas...

You're dumb. No kids that lived there threw baseballs around people's cars. There was a beach half a block away and a park about 3 blocks away.

If you let your kids throw baseballs in a parking lot around people's cars you are scum.

I don't disagree with you, but again it had nothing to do with it being an STR. It had to do with bad parenting.

Kids in big cities play in areas that most people in small towns would scoff at. That's part of living in a big city.

Now you're just arguing to argue

They either know the type of zoning or they don't.

Dude, that's the point. STRs in the condos attracted all kinds of people who were inconsiderate of the fact that people lived there.

When you buy a neighborhood full of SFHs you may not explicitly know the zoning but you have a good indicator that commercial use is not allowed.

You ever heard the case of the girl in California who rented an expensive AirBnB and suspected the owner was watching them from a closed off portion of the house, and it turned out they really were being watched? That’s the kind of shite you’re dealing with when you rent from a total stranger.


Wasn't Erin Andrews in a Marriott when she was being watched?

Again you are getting off course. Your OP is about NYC. Why are talking about SFH and just bitching? There's a place for STR's and there's places that are bad for them.

Your OP in NYC is for mixed use AT best and many commercial areas that also have apt houses.

I mean hell I stayed in a hotel in chicago that had commercial use the first 2 floors, then the hotel for 6 floors, then apartments above that.

Indeed she was. God bless those who were fortunate enough to see nude celebrity pictures that got leaked during The Fappening.

The guy I mentioned is in Freetown, we lived in/own a townhouse across the street from him that we have setup as a LTR. Only reason I've sort of kept up with it is we considered possibly doing STR with it but decided the extra revenue wasn't worth the potential headaches.

I went find his Airbnb profile, he's now up to 5 different rentals, now I see why he's so adamant against the restrictions.

land of the free

Do you think a community should not be able to make laws about property use in high density areas? Do you mind if your neighbor…

…blares music in the middle of the night?
…tethers goats on his front lawn and piles manure by your property line?
…builds a full size replica of the Tower of Pisa and charges for tours?

As long as the restrictions were democratically chosen then it’s fine. If you don’t like it move to somewhere that shares your values.

find it funny that conservatives/supporters of capitalism would be a huge fan of zoning. A lot of zoning is completely arbitrary and driven by homeowners who love to complain and/or government officials who are useless.
Majority of Republican voters (and politicians for that matter) in Louisiana are typically baby boomers who were ex Democrats and voted for people like Bill Clinton, John Breaux, Edwin Edwards, and Jimmy Carter. They could care less about a politicians view of capitalism as long as they say the right stuff about abortion and religion.

People always say this, but the fun fact is that there are plenty of times when someone comes in on the outskirts of a residential or mixed use area and buys up a chunk of land and then is able to "convince" the city to allow them to change the original designation. Now, many times that's a possibility anyway from something like farm to residential, but that's a different story.

Point being, just because you buy somewhere with a certain designation does not mean it will always stay that way.

Explain how CVS could become a monopoly in a theoretical free market with no regulations or barrier to entry.


They have more money than everyone else. They also own a PBM (Caremark) which is in charge of reimbursement rates that runs like 80% of the market as is.

If they continue to buy out other PBM’s they can simply lower the reimbursement rates of other pharmacies until they bleed out. It will take longer for CVS to bleed out than everyone else since they have so much money. Its why a lot of independents are closing.

and the root of it. trashy people ruining stuff for upstanding people. air bnb needs to have some policy in place... you get a complaint or enough complaints against you as a renter, your account is blocked... I know currently hosts can rate you...not sure whats currently being done with that
