Short-term rental moratorium

A short-term rental operator said the moratorium process is rushing too fast and overlooking the benefits of vacation rentals, which pay $20+/hour and offer flexible schedules for mothers, including those with disabled children. She described her 'A Way Up' nonprofit idea and her experience with Seaside, California's regulated approach.

A mother of four who was formerly homeless said cleaning Airbnbs gave her the flexible, family-supporting work no traditional job would offer.

A mother of three, including a non-verbal autistic son, said Airbnb cleaning work lets her handle school emergencies no regular employer would tolerate and lifted her family from week-to-week survival.
