CONWAY — Town Manager Tom Holmes has said that while the town waits for the courts to sort out issues pertaining to zoning and short-term rentals, all town codes are still being enforced.
In fact, the town recently told a short-term rental operator it wants to inspect her property for safety issues.

Are these "Safety Inspections" only for STRs, or will every homeowner be subject to them? As an elected Township Supervisor with almost twenty years of public service, I see this entire issue as a huge waste of time and taxpayers' money.
I can't believe the Conway Daily Sun is DOXING (providing name and address) a homeowner. The article is about a town-wide issue yet an innocent homeowner is targeted. DOXING is defined as Intentionally revealing personal information online usually comes with the intention to punish, intimidate, or humiliate the victim in question. Is a walk-out basement code inspection request newsworthy enough to warrant such action by the Conway Daily Sun? I don't think so.
Can you expect anything else from a newspaper in favor of STR?
