Can someone smarter than me start an initiative petition to ban owning air bnb rentals from anyone who doesn’t qualify for the PFD?
And possibly limit ownership to 5 air bnbs? I think air bnb is out of control in Alaska and causing a huge shortage of starter homes. Everything available under $200k is basically junk or sells for cash the same day it’s listed, then a few months later I see it pop up on air bnb.
I feel like the industry needs to be regulated and restricted to have only Alaskan residents own them, and a limit to how many they can own before they have to start paying some sort of hotel tax.
I’d gladly volunteer to gather signatures but I don’t think I’m smart enough to start the initiative myself.
