Reply to comment by Robinho999 in NYC proposes strict Airbnb registration rules to take effect in January by Eriosyces
Maybe in some markets but it’s been a huge boon to our local economy which is dependent on tourism dollars. Local towns here really like airbnbs.

Nope just live in a beach community where tourists pay a bunch for taxes and visit our local businesses. It was in NY State’s economic report they put out every year for our county — 40% of our local dollars were spent on tourism and tourism-related activities. We actually have super low property taxes because of the money it brings in. Also I work in tech out of NYC and very much have a real job.
The local government sent surveys via mail about perception of short term rentals before deciding on legislation and the results of that survey are all public. Not sure who would downvote my comment without any additional information.

What utopia in NY is this beach community with "super low property taxes?"
