@Dassi0  Try to find out on what basis do 'they' want to stop it; for that matter who 'they' really are.

It is best if those countervailing their effort comes cool as a cucumber, and with favorable facts to their position;  STRs can be very economically helpful to local economies by increasing the cap of available places, adding more choices and even providing certain options typical hotels/motels can't.

I suspect the opposition comes from either of three fronts: the local hotel/motels that do not want competition, local council contending STRs take away from long-term housing and lastly annoyed neighbors having strangers in their enclaves.

Good luck.

I became aware by a week long “conversation” on NextDoor app.  

Not sure yet if it is only neighbors,  but this person is pushing for lots of neighbors to attend.

 I will be attending, with positive examples and hope to see other Hosts there.  (also, there was an opinion piece in local newspaper)
