Arizona’s misguided 2016 state level STR preemption law that striped cities of the power to limit the # of short term rentals set the stage for this wild speculation & over saturation of the STR market by investors looking for easy money.
The STR industry is currently lobbying the #TXLege for a similar law here, so if you want to avoid this outcome in TX, please email/call your state senator & rep & ask them not to support any bill that would strip cities of the power to zone & regulate STRs. #DontArizonaMyTexas
