To the editor:
I disagree with Councilmember Nelson-Lastra that "we need them (vacation rentals) we don't have enough hotels in our city."
If we would have stopped giving out permits to car washes and storage units there would be plenty of land for more motels and hotels. Vacation rentals have no business in R-1 Residential only. They should be relegated to R-3 Multiple.
Second: There is a need for the $600 fee to properly run herd over the out-of-control system now employed. Owners are renting for less than a week. Or the opposite, packing 12 people for the weekly rental.
Owners just do not register.
Sanitation is lacking and not up to standards of a motel or hotel.
Owners are not keeping up the houses as an owner/resident would. Unkempt yards and blight.
Signs are allowed to advertise vacation rentals. Totally wrong. Shall we put up flashing LED lights?
Cape Coral used to be a great place to live. Big money and developers have changed the landscape of this once as the founders of Cape Coral, the Rosen brothers said, " the biggest gated community in Florida."
