not sure what is so complicated for the council. either you let residents operate hotels or you don't. I vote that we don't as I don't want that in my hood. If we do for some reason allow it, then those homeowners should be taxed at the same rate as our hotels.

If a homeowner wants to rent one of their bedrooms out to a stranger, then what business is it of yours? If you get paid once and a while from working from home, should you be catagorized as a business?
Methinks the $400 a night hotels think they're being undercut so they stir up resentment in the community towards private individuals making some modest extra income so they can pay their outrageous property tax.
