We know of a local housekeeper who had to have her teeth pulled a few weeks ago and was planning to pay for dentures with the money she earned from cleaning short-term rental properties. Without that work, she won't be able to afford them. 

Her story is one example of the unintended consequences unleashed by the Conway selectmen’s decision to slam the door on all the STRs in town. We wonder whether they stopped to consider the financial impact this would have on the ability of hundreds of housekeepers, property managers, carpenters, handymen and contractors — all locals — to make a living.
