There is an Air BNB on my street in Cocoa Beach and I see different people every few days. The landlord must have set a low number, because we've never had an issue with it being the loud party house. My main issue is with the safety of the kids on the street of which we have plenty, somewhere between 12 and 18 - they are pretty hard to count. The people who come in don't know there are children around every corner, so they will speed past the homes while driving in vacation mode; a potential disaster in the making.

I hear there is one out on Country Club - Cocoa Beaches high-end section - and it's reported to be a real nightmare. Imagine sitting in your million dollar retirement home and looking out the window at daily beer pong tournaments and the thump of rap or the twang of country at midnight. Sure, you can tell them to shut it down, but tomorrow brings a new day and a new set of beer pong contestants. No thanks.

I was right.

There is no stopping this. Letters, petitions neighbors complaining, you can try anything and everything it will not matter in the long run. Just like our infrastructures and water ways that no one gives a shit about. Growth, money and greed will not stop in Brevard County. Shoot isn't that what they want... A mass amount of tourists to flock here, spend their money just to fall in love with how shitty it has become and never leave..

We just elected the guy that's making the big push for this to become the norm.

Nothing like voting against your self interests.

I was right.

Make that reelected.

I was right.

There have been 3 Air BNB's that were successfully shutdown. Your opinion of this DOES MATTER to the Commissioners. A very simple email (cut and paste) "I do not support changing the zoning laws in un-incorporated Brevard County and the South Beaches to allow short term rentals. The existing zoning laws should remain in place. signed, A Concerned Voter" Send 1 email to ALL 5 Commissioners email addresses: D1.commissioner@brevardfl.gov, D2.commissioner@brevardfl.gov, D3.commissioner@brevardfl.gov, D4.commissioner@brevardfl.gov, D5.commissioner@brevardfl.gov.....There is a MEETING NOV 23rd so this needs to be done soon..Very big thanks to ANYONE who can do this simple task and keep our "Town" vibe as it is....Tobia is only 1 of 5 that is a Def YES...We need numerous emails to help shape the vote of the other 4 Commissioners.

keep our "Town" vibe as it is You are 20 years late on that one sir.

^^Yeah it's way different now than 20+ years ago...BW, 1st peak, going to see local bands at Macs 5th Ave, surf video Monday nights at the Hustler, downtown MLB was a dark ghost town; those days I miss...I am trying to slow down the tourist invasion brought on by Short Term Rentals, When they first opened up it drastically changed our neighborhood (Police every weekend, cars parked all over the roads, beach crowds tripled with tourist who trash it and leave, petty thefts, etc.)...Trying to slow down the propulsion from residential areas to vacation/tourist areas. The negatives of Air BNBs outweigh the positives...There are existing zoning laws that they want to change...I am asking everyone just to email and say NO keep the existing zoning laws in place. Should take less than 5 mins to do...Thank you!
