Took me a bit to figure out, but for anyone else...STR = short term rentals.

I totally sympathize and am at a loss about what can (realistically) be done. Of course we all know common sense solutions but fighting the rich and corporations like airbnb is a losing battle since they make the rules.

Out for a walk last night, there was an entire block of beautiful, expensive homes sitting there empty. All the while, people can't find a place to live.

How much longer?

I go for a walk nightly regardless of weather so I feel qualified to speak!

I order a dozen yaktrax-like sets from Ali Express. They’re like 2 or 3 dollars so that way I don’t worry about them wearing out or falling off in the snow. Unlike spikes, you don’t feel unsteady or uncomfortable when the sidewalk has a clear section. And they do great in black ice or when suddenly there’s ice under the snow.

I also have severalof thesefor different conditions.

And spikes for when it’s all ice.
