You have to prove a problem, just because you don't like green.

When you consider the dollars made by out of compliance VRs, $200,000 is a small start. Out of compliahnce? Lose your license. They've had two years already! Call it nasty mob mentality, but the only nasty comment I have read here so far is this one. Please re-read the comments; most are well reasoned, not "pull up the drawbridge!"

If they don't they should lose thier permit. If you see something report it to the person that gave you thier phone number as administrators.

Please have our community be a community as well as have a broad spectrum of livable space for year round work force on the islands. Thank you!

They also have to do what right for the majority even those who did not vote for them. They have to do whats right for the County...not just you Mob mentality boosters.

They are god fearing humans who would like to enjoy the same things you enjoy by being here...They are our "Guests" of these islands. You all treat them like some kind of monsters who are here to steal your neighborhood spirit, which you cannot identify as most people don't even know or care to know thier neighbor. It is far better to have happy smiling gratefull people visiting next door than a grumpy gun toting good ole boy with 5 dogs barking , 4 broken down cars in the driveway, right? Would you want to know who was sleeping next to you then? Such discriminations against your fellow man, just because he or she did not seek your approval as a human before sleeping next to you?

You mean supply and demand? Tourists and people that stay at a vr must be totally differnet types of humans than you are right? They over eat, they drink too much water, they exude more trash than you and yours. Your groups logic runs so close to early experiences when persons of different color and background moved into a neighbor hood. Same illogical statements, same lies and fear broadcasting...You all should be ashamed.

At least you are the only person so far in your anti vr group that explains that this is about world overpopulation and economies, not VR's. You are against tourism...all of you are and you won't say it.

So you know what limits are limits? What standard are you using...Sewer capacity? Water capacity...All these were decided by the County prior to building permit of the home.. You guys have not yet established a problem. only metaphors and innuendos. mob mentality.

What carrying capacity...The problem of the inability of "sustained" renewable resources is a World Wide Problem. It is humorouse to see your group use that against Ma and Pa cottage home rentals. Mob Mentality.

Please explain and try and legislate what you mean by "Fabric"? Times are changing...people on the go, social media, they don't need to know thier neighbor anymore, only if they mess with you right? When was the last time your neighborhood had a street party? Nay you Mobber.

You really are saying no Tourism correct? Why doesnt your group just say that instead of attacking your fellow Islanders who run a cottage industry of home rental to make thier payments? No Tourism, no need for subsidized housing...as that is what "low income housing is really about" It has to be subsidized by Govt money...your money. Mob mentality..

So the real issue is to restrict or stop tourism...Thats a great idea that way you would not need low income housing for the restaurant and store workers because there would not be any stores or restaurants. Draw bridge mentality..."I am here, no more need to come.

VR's do not use more water than long term or even permanent. Another misrepresentation by the Mob from Orcas.

Whoooo......Ability to serve these people? So if you stop persons from occupying all these houses...and then as you all are pushing for, put long term renters in there...below market value....would these new types of humans now be able to be "served"? Mob mentality.
