Reading letters to the editor from STR proponents is like reading George Orwell’s “1984.” In short, the letters are Orwellian — each one more ludicrous or upside-down in logic than the previous in its attempt to justify STRs in residential neighborhoods.
Mr. Piertangelo, this is David Cavanaugh. I, nor the Association which I am President of, had nothing to do with a movement to host veterans in need of shelter. This was an outreach from the VFW to a local resident who owns a home that was vacant at the time and he could house the guy. From that opportunity was born an idea to help veterans. The town declined to participate in any such program.
I honestly don't have a dog in the STR fight, but I can't help in join in the criticism of Jim's pomposity here. Love Jburnham's call out of Jim's "rule of law" comment.
Check my prior letters to the Sun for litigation citations where Jim displayed his regard/disregard of the rule of law in his pro se appellate career. Hah!!!
Somehow I doubt Mr. Pietrangelo has actually read Orwell's 1984. No Mr. Pietrangelo, "residential" uses in NH law include many types of occupancy. Short-Term, Long-Term, Seasonal, 2nd Homes, and Month to Month to name just a few. Maybe you could share with us and the NH Courts what NH Law bans STRs? Also, in 2022 it is widely accepted that people can live together as "Unrelated People" under one roof, without the permission of their neighbors or the town.
Not even sure where to begin with this letter-to-the-editor. It truly was the most mentally-fragmented and ridiculous posting I have read yet from a misinformed, NIMBY STR opponent. My favorite part?…Where he claims to be one of those “citizens who believe in the rule of law”. 😂 Is he so misinformed that he hasn’t read Judge Ignatius’ court ruling? Has he even bothered to read the Conway Zoning Ordinance? If he has, he clearly did not understand it. "Residential" use does not, and never has meant "resident" use. It refers to non-commercial use. He should read the actual definition of a "dwelling" in the CZA for a clearer understanding of the term. And his reference and comparison to Orwell's "1984" is simply bizarre. It would be funny if it were not so crazy.
