To the editor:

Banning short-term rentals will result in an increase in property taxes to make up for the loss of tax revenue from them, the expense of defending lawsuits, and the enforcement costs, in addition to the loss of jobs.

Not sure where Karen got her information about what causes higher taxes so let me help her out. People cause higher taxes Karen. Lot's of them, overcrowding causes expenses on the local and county levels that raises property taxes. Police, fire, schooling, any municipal services like sewer , water, road maintenance. It's endless. The more people you cram into one small space the more it costs. The only ones who truly love the idea is your local "Chamber of commerce." They LOVE growth.
