What are you responding to? Anyway this question was specifically about short term rentals, not rentals in general. Short termness is a legitimate area of concern when attempting to build community. And by its very nature, ownership isn't generally short term ... Just buying the house is a two month process while a renter can come and go in less than that. I agree that there is an anti renter bias in our society and in cohousing. But I don't see in this discussion so I think your screed was off topic and unhelpful. Renters and owners have different relationships with the homes they occupy, and discussing how that affects our communities is valid. I don't think your categorical rejection of "these discussions" and their supposed universal underlying premises is legit. Diana Mosaic commons Berlin ma
