It’s gonna be a lot closer to other towers than it looks in the renderings.

Unfortunately yes… only a narrow alley separates it from Quantum and 1800

Short term rental buildings should be mandated to have more staff. If they want to treat it like a hotel they should maintain it like a hotel.

Do you know how much “staff” they have?

Condominiums without length of stay requirements usually have more staff, and higher fees.

Private property owners, should have the right to own private property.

In my experience owning in a property without restriction, I chose not to rent my investment property for less than 1 year at time. However, the freedom and liberty was offered for me to lease without restriction.
However, IF I chose to rent my apartment for less than 30 days, our condo association required extraordinary screening, it required a very large application fee for EVERY guest, and required that I keep Insurance indemnifying the building.

When individuals CHOOSE to buy into a condominium building without Gov’t RESTRICTIONS on the length of stay for the Property Owners, or their renters, they typically manage their buildings accordingly.

With the very large application fees, the Condo Management Company hired extra staff, and made some Resident Only areas separated for Owners who chose to live as a primary resident.

What are you going on about? No one is saying people should not have the right to own private property.

I’m saying these short term rentals should have enough staff to keep the guests under control so you don’t have the police called every day like a specific building in Edgewater did not too long ago before they changed from daily rentals to 30 days.

Learn to comprehend writing and the concerns of an actual homeowner who lives in the neighborhood.

It’s 2024 and we’re still allowing these ugly podiums instead of requiring them to be lined with units 🤦‍♂️

China builds a non-clean coal power plant every week and India’s streets make San Francisco look like Tokyo. Have you seen a traffic jam in Beijing? Also, both countries are exempt from every “green” accord i.e., they get to pollute more while places with more stringent environmental regulations like the U.S., Western Europe, Japan, and Australia lose from an economic standpoint.

A 641 ft short term rental building? Will be an absolute disaster. There are thousands and thousands of STR units coming on line. There will simply not be the demand. Expect a lot of Opera buildings
