A group of 15 commissioners from seven mountain counties is blasting a recent study (I reported about yesterday) that shows limiting short term rentals will not solve the employee housing problem. The study recommended building more rental apartments as the solution to our housing shortage, as trying to convert most short term rentals is impractical due to their size, location and cost.
But, no the commissioners want to rely on they own vague ideas/plans with no supporting data what-so-ever and ignore a valid study that actually sheds some light on what we must do.
Yes the study was commissioned (paid for) by Airbnb, but it was preformed by a company with no ties to Airbnb, nor interest in the outcome of the study.
And I'm sure the town councils won't be far behind in berating the study.
Here's a link to the Summit Daily News story if you'd like to see how the commissioners have their collective heads stuck in the sand:
