Think About the Resident Next Door

I actually find it hard to believe that residential single-family homes can be rented and occupied as if they are a hotel or motel without strict regulations. Why has the City of Marco permitted these rentals to flourish in our City? Obviously, the City Council now and past years did not recognize the problem we have today. The commercial businesses that run these rentals have a history of ignoring rental standards. Homeowners have jumped on this free for all and break many common-sense self-regulation 365 days per year.

I agree with Rich Blonna, City Councilman. Why has abuse of normal occupancy standards been permitted for years? Of course no one thinks about the resident next door who wants to be free or all these abuses. They expect to live in a residential community, not a ghetto.
