was my entire income. <br />If you implement the ban on ALL ADUs new and existing, <br />Redwood City will lose the short term rental tax income Redwood City <br />automatically receives through short term rental platforms. <br />Redwood City will lose my income tax revenue from this rental income. <br />Are you willing and able to compensate me for the tens of thousands of dollars I will <br />lose every year in rental income? There is surely no way or will to do so. <br />Any ban on ALL short term rentals of ADUs in Redwood City will create a NEW <br />housing crisis for homeowners like me who depend on this income. <br />I suggest you experiment with new housing stock related legislation only on NEW <br />ADU permitted construction. Your new regulations will be included in new building <br />considerations before building starts, without negatively impacting existing ADU <br />owners. <br />With demand for short and long term rental housing massively down due to COVID, <br />why punish your tax -paying homeowners further? <br />You are not required to ban short term rentals of existing ADUs in the California <br />State legislation. <br />You have a clear legal path forward that allows for housing innovation going forward <br />(focus regulations on new construction going forward) without harming your existing <br />ADU homeowners. <br />I am astounded that in our current pandemic and economic crisis, the Redwood City <br />City Council would consider measures that would unnecessarily cut potential sources <br />of critical income for residents. <br />The Redwood City Council voted 4-3 in favor of this approach on July 13th 2020. <br />
