Lots of air quotes in the title of this thread -- because the definitions of all these things are blurry.
Have you heard about my home state of Florida's "Live Local Act," which aims to help combat the lack of affordable housing by incentivizing new construction through tax breaks?
The Live Local Act allows developers to get around height and density restrictions like those in historic areas.
Such as my neighborhood of South Beach, where the owner of historic The Clevelander (hotel) is planning to break architectural preservation laws and erect a tall residential building. You can read the whole story here.
Lack of affordable housing has led to a persistant labor shortage in the local hospitality industry.
Yet detractors of the development say it's merely a money grab.
Is this type of thing being done in other STR hotspots?
How does your community adapt to change without losing its soul?
How do you create new opportunities for more people?
What are the elements that make your neighborhood healthy?
