I csnt speak for this but you are right generally.
Most govt agencies are fairly useless in terms of the average person reaching out. They dont answer you, they barely answer the phone. Forget relying on their websites for electronic contacts.
You have to hope they have a new dynamic leader in at a dept who is on the ball. These are few and far apart. Its really sad. It leaves you with no other option than to complain to a newspaper like Lbt did to get them ugly signs down.
The fact we are this far shows how much further we can be
People are so shortsighted. They dont need to pull out all stops. The govt needs to tread carefully. We have a supply shortage of housing for locals. Maybe this person needs to try to look for a place to rent for an average preson.
The govt doenst seem to have interest in changing zoning rules or increasing density to meet supply. So now we want the govt to encourge even less availiability for locals? Anyone who has rented has seen the massive spike in rents that has come alongside the shift to vacation rentals.
I dont blame home owners. If a person can get double for renting to a tourist who can out compete a local but where does it leave us? We've seen other places have the same problem and are trying to combat it. Problem is the loudest voices are either these guys or the realtors.
he has provided assistance. He's brought it to the attention of the authority. I dont know if you tried to raise things with the government before but its a near waste of time. You call, you email, you whatsapp and no one responds. If they do respond they dont action.
the only way they listen is by blasting them on the news it seems.
