There were 70 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question, “When should the town start issuing cease-and-desist letters to STR owners?” Most of the comments said, “Not right away.” The comments below have been edited for length and redundancy.
I have had my house in North Conway for over 23 years. During COVID, I rented my house out to a local business that needed to separate their employees. I know many locals will lose employment if STR owners in the North Conway are stopped. If cease and desist happens many locals shall be hurting. Maggie Lannan
