Oh my god.

You're waking up with Sarah and Vinny.

Oh, look at that. Ellis at 973. Hello, Saratoga. Oh, he lives in Saratoga? No, no, no. I'm talking to this, we've moved on. Oh, Saratoga's right here. Sarasota. Nope, here in the Bay Area. Hello, Saratoga. Hey, Saratoga. It's down south. It's like I pass it on the way home.

There's Cupertino. Bay Area. Hello, Saratoga. Hey, Saratoga. It's down south. It's like I pass it on the way home. It's there's

Cooper Tino and all that stuff. Saratoga's right off the freeway there. The city council has passed

a law setting penalties for residents who list their homes as a short-term rental.

Oh.

This is something that a lot of places are now looking at doing.

Yeah.

They find themselves with this constant turnover in their neighborhood as people rent, party, leave, repeat.

Yep.

The people who bought that house never lived in it.

They're not neighbors, no.

Or friends or anything.

They're just someone who took a house off the market to turn it into a business.

Yep.

And now the Saratoga City Council has decided to explicitly outlaw short-term rentals in the city.

It's a small, you know, town that makes up, you know, the Bay Area is a lot of small towns.

Yep.

But I think you're going to see more of this.

The law, I agree. I think Airbnb... Tech has found ways to make money that we would never have thought of, including this. Right. Buy a house, put it on Airbnb, and charge a thousand a night for it, and you're in the money. It used to be kind of a cool idea.

Like, I'm going to be out of town.
