When whole streets become vacant due to unregulated short term rentals it creates an enormous cultural impact to the town/area. My street since Covid has become fifty percent STR/AirBNB/VRBO.

Whenever a house comes up for sale I wonder what rate the new owners will charge a night for the place.

At a certain point I'd think that especially in smaller VT towns the number of STR will eventually outnumber the full time residents of the area. When this occurs what really would bring someone to visit here except for a romanticized ideal of Vermont?
