ATLANTA (AP) Atlanta officials are taking a closer look at short-term home renting, with one councilman proposing to ban the practice.
Councilman Howard Shook said residents are concerned about a constant stream of strangers in their neighborhoods and a loss of community.
“More and more you’re seeing the neighbors say, ‘I’m getting tired of living next to somebody where I never know who’s supposed to be there and who isn’t and who’s coming and who’s going,’” he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
But some homeowners say they rely on the money from renting out their properties, particularly during the pandemic.
