Resharing a post w this Letter.
Not just Port Renfrew, we live in two communities badly impacted. Difficult everywhere in BC vacation rentals allowed to flourish, long term tenants left to pick over scraps- unsafe/poorly maintained dregs unfit for airbnb guests.

Well said Colby & BC please #BanSTR

Toxic levels of tourism are everywhere. Over-tourism raises the prices of food, transit and HOMES.

Protests are erupting where affordable homes for locals are taken away and replaced with short term vacation rentals for tourists instead. #BanAirbnb #BanSTR #HousingCrisis
