It appears we need some new councilors. I believe Angie is right.
I like that she pointed at the housing owners from away renting Bar
harbor houses as VR2’s can walk on in. That is where guard rails are mostly needed.
There is a goldmine here for the locals who can build and operate a 5 star vacation rental.
It can bring in the highest net profit per tourist of any business in town.
It is also very profitable to all the local trades as these vacation rentals must be well maintained and attractive. The town is now floating on a bubble up economy. More people are getting a piece of the pie. More families can afford to live here. It must remain a controlled resident privilege, however, minus the Draconian measures the TC is offering.
I would never vote for a no knock surprise inspector invasion. There are proper channels for filing a complaint about un safe conditions on rentals. It would be a rare day in hell if a weekly renter filed such a complaint. It is a useless and paranoid idea.
Thanks Lincoln

Thank you to Angie Chamberlain for her brave letter!
At this point I’m ready to vote against anything the AirBnB investors want. They’ve ruined entire neighborhoods and we have too many tourists.
