  • What part of CA did you move to? I moved here a few years ago and love it. The weather is great (depending on where you live of course - coast is always temperate) and I’ve traveled to most of the regions in the state and they all have something unique and amazing to offer.

    The fact that I don’t fear my personal rights getting stripped T the federal level as much is because California does so much in the way of protecting and bettering our lives here.

    While I agree that owners destroying communities by renting out available housing, there is a very easy way to combat it - enforce the local laws on vacation rentals.

    I was just in a VRBO where the owner had clearly registered the place with the city, posted plaques in the house and window showing the units license, etc. and proved they paid the appropriate taxed to the city (which can be used to solve other problems like homelessness.

    I am absolutely a fan of having a whole place to myself and my family, with a washer and dryer that’s free, with a kitchen so we don’t have to spent a fortune eating out for every meal. I think the crazy rules and cleaning up before the cleaners is ridiculous, but those are known before you get there, so if you continue with the property knowing those rules, that’s on you. You can cancel.
