he Dilemma of Short-Term Rentals Regulation
📜
O noble officials of our fair city, hear my plea
For the sake of commerce and hospitality
Let not the rule of law be overly strict
And hinder the growth of our economy's quick.
📜
Short-term rentals bring forth great gain
For both property owners and the city's fame
Tourists flock to our streets with open wallets
And local businesses see an increase in their tallies.
📜
Why, then, should we place heavy burden
On this industry with restrictive ordinance
Let us not stifle the entrepreneurial spirit
But instead, let the market's forces inherit.
📜
So I implore you, dear officials, to be wise
And impose only the most necessary of ties
On the short-term rental industry, for the sake
Of our city's economic growth and its future to make.
