NEIGHBORHOOD
ASSOCIATIONS
HOMEOWNERS' ALERT!
FOR THE
COMMISSIONERS'
ADDRESSES!
WILL YOU BE LOCATED
NEXT TO A HOTEL BY
THE TIME YOU GET
BACK?
IN LIGHT OF CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES WE WILL BE REVISING OUR
"TRANSIENT RENTAL" PAGES, AND ARCHIVING OLDER ITEMS. BUT:
SEE NOTE BELOW ** AND ALSO SEE A RECENT EDITORIAL OPINION
POSTED 10-23-07 The "Last Word on Transient Rentals"
CLICK HERE
READ AN INFORMATIVE ARTICLE, AND TAKE THE TIME TO LET THE COMMISSION KNOW THAT WE
INSIST ON PROTECTING OUR AREA! WE'RE ENJOYING A BRIEF RESPITE FROM THE "TRANSIENT
THREAT" (IRONICALLY) DUE TO HURRICANE WILMA AND THE ADJUSTMENT IN THE REAL ESTATE
MARKET. BUT THE "SMART MONEY" IS STILL TELLING US, "IT'LL BE BACK!"
Did the guy next to you recently put up a bunch of things
that look like licenses in his windows? Bunch of strangers showing up for just
a weekend, then they're gone? They don't seem interested in telling you who
there are or where they're from?
Then stay tuned, Bubba. Some say that in th' near future, you'll be livin' next to a permanent
hotel. Some say the fix is in, and all they'll need will be them licenses and a couple of receipts.
Now, to be fair, there's a lot of 'em that say this is just nonsense; ain't gonna happen.
But given the history of Key West, what do you think? Might be a good idea to ask....
ORDINANCE BEING INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THERE IS
STILL SOME TALK ABOUT REVISING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IN LIGHT OF "NEW
REALITIES" AND THE DEMAND FOR "SECOND HOMES"
SEEMS UNBELIEVABLE? IT COULDN'T HAPPEN BACK HOME UP NORTH? THEREFORE,
IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE?
TALK TO SOME OF YOUR NEIGHBORS. LET THEM KNOW THAT EVERYONE WILL BE
BETTER OFF IF WE KEEP THE PRESENT 30-DAY RENTAL RESTRICTION FOR OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS.
We'll have better security, higher values, and we'll be able to enjoy our homes!
"WE BOOKED IT OVER TH' INTERNET! THEY'S FOUR OF US
HERE NOW, AN' FOUR MORE COMIN' IN TUESDAY. THEY SAID
TH' PLACE SLEEPS EIGHT, AN' IT WUZ CHEAPER THAN A
DAMN HOTEL! AN' TH' CAB DRIVER SEZ HE KNOWS WHERE I CAN
GIT ME SOME.....WELL, YOU KNOW!"
DON'T THINK THIS CAN'T HAPPEN AROUND YOU! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS....NOTHING!
LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND ANY PROPOSED ORDINANCE,
AND ANY PROPOSED "COMP PLAN" CHANGES.
IF YOU AGREE THAT WHERE YOU LIVE WILL BE A BETTER PLACE, WITH HIGHER VALUES, IF IT IS
HELD TO A THIRTY DAY RENTAL, IT'S IMORTANT THAT WE ALL LET THE COMMISSION KNOW HOW
WE FEEL ABOUT IT! BY TELEPHONE, BY LETTER, OR BY E MAIL.

APPARENTLY THESE PEOPLE DON'T
THINK SO (9-10-07)
"I have a rental next door to me, and I
just had to call the police twice. I
think the real estate people who rent
these, if the police are called, should
be fined. All these rich people who
are sleeping in New York or all over
the United States, while I'm awake
because they have a rental house
down here, should be fined. And
there should be a fine for the real
estate people too."
"It ain't over till it's over, folks!"
WILL BE WORTH MORE IF WE CAN HOLD THE
ZONING TO A 30 DAY RENTAL.
ALL A "DONE DEAL." OTHERS SAY IT IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMISSIONERS TO
PROVE THAT "BUSINESS AS USUAL" IS A MYTH.
PLEASE LET OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS KNOW
HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT TRANSIENT ACTIVITY
NEXT DOOR TO YOUR HOUSE OR HOME!
