Was it you that said the AirBnB was a deciding factor?

Right. That's fair - especially if you're looking to live there (random people in and out of a lot of the units)...but can the same not be said for any building?

I wonder if condo buildings with permitted short term rentals are more expensive to insure?

Outside of Oktoberfest, the 2ish music fests that take place - Bingemon's (EDM) and the McLennan park one (did one even happen in 2019?) Do we believe a few dozen units are going to be revolving door AirBnB rentals? I see it far more likely to have the month to month rentals which are ultimately not that different than the yearly rentals (you can break contract at any time).

Speaking of failed music festivals, we once had a pretty decent one that focused on underground electronic music (not the pop-EDM crap the big ones feature). I think it ran for a year or two but then it hasn't resurfaced since. I can't remember what it was called, but it would be nice to have that again since there isn't a whole lot of that kind of culture here.
Thankfully Open Ears Festival is still around, which focuses on more experimental acoustic, electroacoustic, electronic music, sound art and installations.

Koi Music fest is another one that didn't survive long term.
