• STRs are SAFE and overwhelmingly accommodate friendly tenants who almost exclusively consist of groups of families and friends
• STR operators in Anaheim have one of the highest permit compliance rates in the nation are committed to adhering to all rules and regulations
• STRs increase ALL Anaheim home values - a rising tide lifts all boats
  
• STRs in Anaheim generate millions of dollars in local taxes annually which should be re-invested into local neighborhoods and schools 
• STRs are an expected and desired accommodation option for current and future generations of traveling families of which many no longer consider a hotel as a viable alternative

• STR Owners use of best practices to create vacation homes in which guests can enjoy all that a home can offer while mitigating negative impacts on the neighborhoods
  
• Strict penalties for STR owners/operators who knowingly violate rules and negatively impact Anaheim neighborhoods
  
• BANNING "BAD" STRS that leave a negative impression on GOOD STRS
• Good Neighbor Policies
• Sustainable noise abatement policy
  
• Reasonably defining and restricting future "mansionization" (overbuilding a home)

• A neighborhood compatible yet economically feasible revision to maximum occupancy limits 
• Reinvesting STR Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) into neighborhoods where STRs are located including nearby schools
• Preservation existing property rights 
• Preserving all Anaheim resort area home values, NOT just STRs, by allowing STR permits to transfer to a new owner
• The original Anaheim STR Ordinance while recognizing the need for limited revisions addressing valid neighbor concerns
