Episode description
Bob discusses the future of Short Term Rentals (STRs) with Dwight Worden, the Mayor of Del Mar, California. Bob and Dwight cover the new ordinance put in place in Del Mar to regulate rentals, room sharing, and house exchange of less than 30 days in duration. Sometimes referred to as Vacation Rentals, STRs have grown in popularity in many communities and neighborhoods throughout North County San Diego (Cities of San Diego, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Carlsbad). The growth of the "sharing economy" and the online explosion of STR websites such as Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway, and FlipKey have increased the number of property management companies and individual homeowners offering furnished homes to vacationers. This is not unique to North County San Diego, but is occurring in residential neighborhoods all over the world. This has rapidly become an emotionally charged topic, as conflict can occur between property owners who want to profit from short term renting and others who see STRs as turning their neighborhoods into commercial hotel zones. This episode is not intended to determine a right or wrong answer to this issue, but rather explores what City Councils are doing, now and in the future, in regard to STR regulation, zoning, and enforcement.
