Opposing STR Ordinance

I’m strongly opposed to a bill that will destroy the economic viability of Marco island. There are 2,500 homes and vacation rentals that will be terminated. Let’s assume an average rental has three people in it. Each person probably spends $100 per day whether it be breakfast, lunch, dinner, alcohol, groceries, gas, souvenirs…etc. If you multiply that out by 365 days that is over 273 million dollars. Even if an average rental has one person per rental that is still over 93 million. Congrats on killing an economy right when we go into a recession.

Every person has lived next to a neighbor they don’t like, living next to a short term renter is at least temporary.
