I'm very active in my community, Aptos, CA, in Santa Cruz County where prices are just astronomical while working people are living in cars or commuting from two hours away, or more.

The Coastal Commission has had a change of heart from when they thought short-term rentals would expand opportunities for visitors to come and enjoy the coast. It's had the opposite effect.

One of the Commissioners recommended deed restrictions for any new "housing" unit built that would require owner occupancy or long term tenants.

I support that.
