"Jim Stone takes issue with the LEFTISTS who claim that the BOOMERS DESTROYED EVERYTHING"
"Favorite Leftist lie: The boomers destroyed everything

FACT: The "boomer way of doing things" was stopped completely right around 1985, at the latest 1990, and it has been ALL DOWNHILL SINCE. Boomers thought "made in Japan was crap" and even today, the old American tools when dug out and tested beat the quality of the new Japanese tools, and totally destroy anything from China. THE BOOMERS DID IT RIGHT.

They passed on enough common sense to the Gen-x'ers to make Gen-X the next target, that generation is targeted already. Boomers were the best America ever got, at a time when America was the best at EVERYTHING. It's no wonder the ire of the elite is pointed at the boomers now, and the so-called "elite" will proceed to blame everything they themselves did to destroy the United States on the boomers to make young america, which the "elite" have made clueless, hate its heritage. It's called "displacement", and it will serve well to make sure the old, great America never returns."

Well in that case, I belive VRBO owners should have zero say in the HOA rules.
There's just too much motive for them, to buy up as many units as they can, and out vote the remaining owners in imposing burdens on them that could price them out. Then just reverse all of their nonsense once they succeeded.

If I were king around here, trying to make money off buying and rigging the SFH market would be so prohibitive for them, they would never ever want to do it.
Go buy or build a multi unit apartment building if you want to play the Soup!

I would do away with HOA's period if it were up to me.

There's been quite a spate of stories in Florida of Home owners getting priced out of their HOA properties with the 30 year inspection scam and raising the fees and imposing outrageous 20K or more assessment fees. One was a HOA that had 3 story duplexes, and yet they are being treated with the same regulations that big concrete multi story buildings like those effected by the Champlain towers fallout.

I think it's stupid to demand a building that has more plywood and metal studs, than cinderblocks, and every floor above is a part of the same unit, to be held to the same standards as a high-rise condominium. It's a land grab by the investor class.

@Tenpoundbass I get what you mean but all of the condos on the West Maui oceanside were built to be STRs in the 1970s or a bit later. On the other side of the road the apartments were built for workers.

So I'm not messing up the SFH market at all, mine and likewise are small, furnished, with no storage and single uncovered parking. There are some 2-3 bedrooms as well. It's the reason all of those buildings have leasing offices. Personally I'd like to kick them out and put toys like kayaks, etc., we can lease to visitors but again, old people can't manage on their own...

Regular people couldn't afford the mortgage, HOA fee and insane property taxes. Even getting a long term renter doesn't come close to covering costs. Approximately half.

I tend to agree with the AirBNB (and VRBO) messing up housing for people but it's more AirBNB than VRBO -> which tends to attract older more quiet people.

In this case I was just able to remove a middle man that was going to charge me 30%, and they are still pissed. They also work for our HOA. They have a rental division and a property management division but there are really only a few people who work there.

My unit was used for STRs looong before the internet was a public thing.

Nearly the entire building rents their units out on VRBO directly or indirectly. There are a handful of resident owners and they are aged 85 to over 95 and rich. They also keep dying so it's hard to keep track. They are also a pain the ass voting to put plants in front of ground floor owners views because they, "Like the flowers".

Sounds like the Leasing office guys are butt hurt because you're not paying the protection money.
and you didn't tip the groundskeeper they have a dossier on you by now.
