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.
