To be honest, I’ve liked it MORE since COVID means we can’t travel. This means two important things: meetings are held later in the day to accommodate our colleagues from Hawai’i; and meetings are cheaper because I don’t need to get on a plane and stay in a hotel to attend these meetings.

But short-term rentals come with additional challenges due to industry lobbying, layers of regulation, and market growth. This means that local governments often lack control, feel short-changed, and generally frustrated with the short-term rental industry altogether.
