Re “STR’s also causing headaches in many unincorporated areas” (July 17): Supervisors, hear our plea! We feel your pain. The whole-home short-term rental next door sleeps 18 people. It’s a hotel, not a residence — and a noisy one at that!

Please, county supervisors, ban these properties from existing in our neighborhood. Local neighbors suffer while property managers and investors profit. Help!
