Date:Tuesday, October 17, 2023 12:04:44 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Please vote no on ordinances 2149. Banning short term rentals in Bozeman won't fix any housing issues. It will favor big corporations over local business owners. If people can't afford to live here, then move to a more affordable city! It is a privilege to live here - NOT A RIGHT. Work harder - make more money - Don't harm those who have worked SO hard to be able to make Bozeman their home. I was born and raised here and I have had to fight SO HARD to be able to stay here, and I would never want a hand out or ask that others sacrifice in order to "let" me stay here. I am proud to be a Bozeman homeowner but how can this city punish the hardworking tax paying land-owning citizens in favor of transplants or low income renters? The math and logic doesn't add up. People LOVE STR's over hotels and they are so good for the local economy. 2149 would create an unreasonable burden on property owners in exchange for a very minimal public policy impact.
