To the editor:
In a letter to the editor on STRs, L. Greer correctly stated about himself, “I am no expert on zoning.” While it is unclear whether Greer supports STRs or not, he did clearly misstate the law on residential zoning.

Here we go again. Another editorial-style letter in the CDS by some anti-STR blowhard that thinks he’s smarter than the rest of us but can’t even comprehend the difference between the terms ”residential” and “resident” as they apply to zoning use regulations. To be clear: “residential“ use does not mean ”resident” use. If it did, then not just STRs but all second homes and vacation homes would be banned in residential zones since their owners ”reside” elsewhere. I won’t waste time pointing out other false claims he makes since they are all predicated on his misinterpretation of zoning use terms and intent.
Final observation:
Isn’t it ironic that the heading for his letter reads:
“Letter writer mistakes the law on residential zoning”.
Indeed he does!
I see you are citing cases in which you were not involved as a pro se litigant. Before anyone takes you seriously there's a few where you were:
Pietrangelo v. Sununu, No. 21-1366 (1st Cir. 2021) (Covid vax dist. unfair)
Pietrangelo v. Alvas Corp. 686 F.3d 62 (2d Cir. 2012) (Hotel room dispute)
Pietrangelo v. U.S. Army Case No. 2:06-cv-00170-wks (Don't Ask Don't Tell saga)
Pietrangelo v. PolyOne Corp., 2020 Ohio-2776 (claimed environmental injury)
Pietrangelo v. Sandusky Library (noisy patron ban unfair)
Pietrangelo v. Avon Lake, 2018-Ohio-1006 (moved into house across from noisy skate park)
There are more!
Residential zoning is a constitutional exercise of a town’s police powers per se, not merely a predicate to a possibly constitutional exercise of a town’s police powers …, Tom Holmes did state that the police could legally remove renters on the spot if there’s a call to the police. So I want a call to action, identify the property’s and call the police immediately if you see and out of state car pull in ! Sand hard on the road till you are sure they violators are sent back to where they came from. Tom said he would be able to do this . If your serious then get the police involved now to end the rentals in Conway. Do it !
