Thank you Thank you Thank you

I have been so curious about this topic

“Wasted” housing is nothing new. I’m thinking of the McMansions and resort area houses that owners may only use a couple of weeks a year

BUT I have been concerned what all this short term rentals has meant for long term housing now that we have the AirBBNB etc. apps.

Good job and thorough research! I’m a big fan of facts.

Thanks for the comment, Sue. My parents live in Rockingham County, and their next door neighbor sold their house to an "investor couple" from NOVA. Now that house is a full-time Airbnb. They have different neighbors every weekend. Hard to build community and neighbor relations that way!
