City attempting to outlaw full year short term rentals - Bozeman, Montana

[Eric7261]

Hello - I'm posting here as the City of Bozeman, Montana - gateway city for arrivals for Yellowstone National Park and home to Montana State University and closest city to Bridger Bowl ski resort as well as being 1 hour from Big Sky Resort and Yellowstone Club, is attempting to pass a law that effectively outlaws full year vacation rentals - how do I contact AirBnb to bring this to their attention - would the company have any interest in getting involved with this? There is a tenant organization that has become very vocal about vacation rentals taking away 'affordable housing' - the actual numbers show this action is all for optics - banning vacation rentals would effectively not make a drop in the bucket with the housing issues our community faces. https://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/news/city/city-board-to-discuss-short-term-rental-ban/article_...
