but on the other hand most families (including mine) who live in bar harbor, can’t afford to live there without renting out part of their property. it’s honestly a revolving door of shit but blaming local families for getting involved in AirBnB isn’t doing much dawg

If so many people weren’t buying up properties to AirBnB prices wouldn’t be as high in the first place.

Building an ADU on your property to AirBnB is cool. Outbidding a family that needs housing, or kicking out your long term tenants so you can AirBnB is not cool.

I have a friend that built a nice studio apartment over his garage to AirBnB. That’s not hurting anyone. I know other people that bought up multiple properties that had long term tenants and kicked them all out to make room for tourists. That’s an asshole move.
