Why I Voted Yes for STR Ordinance

1. The residents of Marco have been asking for regulations against short term rentals that are ENFORCED for 25 years!!!!! If it is voted in, it can be changed. If it fails, we will still be wanting and our city council will STILL do nothing.

2.  It has major backing by the Florida real estate agent organizations.  Their goal is to KEEP SELLING properties, not to maintain a peaceful community with little turnover.  One way to do that is to sell to people who want/need to rent.  

3.  It has backing by members of our city council who have done NOTHING to fix the problems, and they had their chance (as did the councils before them).

4. It IS NOT:

• Big Government taking over
• Restrictions on your grandchildren
• Higher Taxes

5.  It IS 

• restrictions and costs for people using homes for commercial rental purposes
• the residents of Marco saying, “enough is enough!”

PLEASE IGNORE THOSE EXPENSIVE FLIERS FROM PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIVE HERE!

Vote YES for overdue restrictions! A bad stake in the ground can be moved and is better than no stake!
