To the editor:

Maybe an answer to all this "lack of hired help staff" for businesses is the STR situation.

If Conway wants to see what happens when STRs are allowed to run unchecked, look at Nantucket. They are having a crisis on that island because not only can they not find people to serve in restaurants or work maintenance on the road crews, they can't even keep their fire department and paramedic teams fully staffed. Why? Because there is nowhere for anyone who isn't rich (and therefore not going to work a civil service or minimum wage job) to live. Conway's going to learn the hard way if they don't pick up on the mistakes of others.
