Challenging to Investors
Strict prohibition of sub‑60‑day rentals in residential districts forces investors into a 60–180 day mid‑term niche, eliminating the primary short‑term vacation‑rental demand. While the $250 permit and clear steps are moderate, the limited list of permitted properties and lack of clear cap/criteria create uncertainty and restrict scale, making compliance feasible but constraining profitability.
