developing a parking lot = Good

Short term rentals = Bad

This is one way to announce you don't understand the basics of housing policy. Short term rentals can be bad when they replace permanent housing, not a parking lot. If anything this saves long term housing from conversion to short term so any good urbanist should be happy.

I think it’s “permanent housing best but short term rentals better than a parking lot.”

I mean, that’s how I feel. What I prefer isn’t always what I get but this is an improvement.

It's a hotel less than a block from the convention center.

Ah yes, all of the "permanent housing" that that parking lot was providing, right?

look at the area man, there's still like 10 parking lots right around this building, this isn't taking housing away from anyone
