I know I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s worth repeating: There is a national housing shortage. There is a housing shortage here in New York — especially in nearby New York City — and there’s a housing shortage here in the Hudson Valley.

That’s the first problem with allowing more short-term rentals: It’s taking homes off the market during a time where more are desperately needed.

The second problem is that, here in Monroe, it appears that a lot of the garbage situation is being caused by short-term rentals.

That takes us back to the Monroe Town Board meeting on February 5th. A motion was made to open public comment concerning 649 Lakes Road’s application

So, whenever there’s an application to convert a home in Monroe to a short term rental, it’s worth paying attention to what the neighbors have to say.

And in this case? The neighbors are opposed.
