So much for the @Airbnb party ban. They had to shuttle people in to the neighborhood because there wasn’t room to park all the cars. We found out the owners knew about the party and even called the sheriff on me for telling the renters that they couldn’t park on other properties

Wondering why we have a housing shortage? Here's one reason: short term vacation rental abuse. Source: bit.ly/ScamDiego_STVRs_2023 When #SanDiego’s sweeping new law regulating short-term rentals kicked into effect on May 1, mega property owner Michael Mills was prepared. The regulations were clear: Only one vacation rental license per person was allowed. Mills needed more than 100. Undeterred, he spotted an opening in the law’s language: the word “host,” defined as a human being, not a company. While owners couldn’t get licenses in their own names, they could recruit hosts to apply on their behalf. For weeks this spring he and his wife, Ana Karla, worked furiously to find people near and far who were willing to put their names on more than 100 vacation rental license applications. Some were close family members. Others were friends, relatives, employees and their spouses, mere acquaintances. A review of license data from the city of San Diego, in combination with county property records, indicates that dozens of property owners have acquired more than one whole-home license via proxy hosts, many times within the same building. One limited partnership, for example, owns an eight-unit apartment complex in Pacific Beach with eight licenses. And a seven-unit building in North Park owned by two individuals and two LLCs has seven licenses. Taken together, these instances account, conservatively, for more than 500 licensed units across multiple complexes.

It's been two months since required licensing for San Diego's short-term rentals went into effect. The law says one license per person. Dozens of operators, though, have found a way to get far more. sandiegouniontribune.com/bus…
