Are AirBnBs and vacation homes causing the “housing crisis”?

This sure doesn’t look like a problem of too few housing units for the population:


After, all we had a massive glut of houses just 15 years ago — the government was handing out huge tax credits to buyers just to try to soak up the inventory! Since then, we’ve kept building even with very slow population growth — and no growth in California.

Being one of the most desirable vacation places in the country, Encinitas surely has more than its fair share of AirBnBs and second homes for the wealthy.

Is mandated high density development just bringing us more AirBnBs and vacation condos?

  1. All of the new multi-family projects (i.e. high density) have restrictions against leasing as short term rentals.

    What we need is rent control and a vacancy tax.

    3. Development can’t be piece meal and chaotic like the approach Encinitas is encouraging. It’s absolutely a developer give away with nothing substantial for low income. Leucadia will get ruined and 101 will look like downtown Huntington Beach. This needs to get addressed and guess what hack law firm at the south end contributed to this?

    9. The alternative is more affordable in the density calculation. Minimal set backs or zero lot line usually just makes bad neighbors. Requiring no parking in this area completely absurd. But let’s be real, the intention is not about affordable and never was, it’s ALL ABOUT a developer give away and our Mayor is just a developer tool as well as the non environmental lawyers parading as benevolent while solely cashing in with no care or concern for our community.

    11. 3:30- At one time Marco was an environmental attorney and did quite a lot for the environment. But I guess he didn't find that as lucrative as developers payments. These days he is into catching large fish in the ocean. I wonder if he is retired, as he is on about every FB group that will allow him to on it. But I do remember a time when he really did help protect the environment.

  2. Part of the Air BnB investor calculus is rising home equity value. Even if an AirBnB is break even on a cash flow basis, as long as home prices rise, there is a positive return down the road.

    I’m not denying that short term rentals, hedge fund investment, and Chinese investors aren’t taking inventory off the market. They are. But constraints on production contribute to a supply-demand imbalance that actually enhances and rewards those business models in a positive feedback loop.

And Marco's clients the Clark developers, who feigned their desire to be good neighbors when they wanted to get their project approved, not responding to Clark residents asking them to remove homeless vagrants from abandoned buildings on their development site property and blowing them off. Now we come to learn, vagrants are setting fires on that property, putting Clark residents in danger. What's worse in this town? The developers or the vagrants?

    11. Del Mar and Solana Beach do not have homeless problems.

      Why is it we have all this development without street upgrades and improvements (it's in the city charter), but density projects are being approved with endless others in the works? How is it we still haven't complied with our RHNA numbers, when Blakespear told HCD we had? How did Clark and Piraeus end up getting switched with L7 at the last moment? Why did Streetscape cost $65M and still need more money when the work is shoddy and looks nothing like the plans the council promised and is still not completed? There's a lot of other less glaring issues that are ongoing in this city that those who pay attention to can't help wondering about. Pacific View also comes to mind.

      Even if you think this pathetic city council isn't corrupt, at the least, they are incompetent and incapable. Maybe you should stop by a council meeting now and again and listen to oral communications.

    7. 11:10,

      All R30 units count against RHNA quota, not just the deed restricted units.

      There are two ways to get credit for RHNA units. The first is to do a rent study to prove that certain zoning conditions naturally result in market rate housing that meets the state definition of affordability.

      The second path is R30, under the assumption that this higher density divides the cost of the dirt under the building among a larger number of units, thus generally lowering the cost. You can argue about whether that’s a good assumption or a bad assumption. But you can’t argue about whether that is the assumption built into state housing law. It is.

      The first option—the housing study to prove that certain zoning conditions historically result in affordable housing—in practical terms it’s only possible in cheaper inland areas. In coastal communities, the second (R30) option is the only viable one.

      Every parcel zoned R30 has an estimated unit potential, and all of those estimated units count against RHNA quota.

      Delete
    8. Right, but we lack RHNA units only in the lower income bands. There is not "count against" quota when you've already exceeded it for the higher income levels. Nice sleight of hand for those who don't know any better but it won't get you far in the real world.

      Delete
    9. HCD: "[Encinitas] has a regional housing need allocation (RHNA) of 1554 housing units, of which 838 are for lower-income households."

      Since developers are allocating only 15% of total units for lower-income households, 5,587 units will have to be built to yield 838 for lower-income households.

  17. Dr. Looni posted a weird long rambling post on EV that wandered between subjects and kept coming back to being about her. The words “I” “me” and “my” feature prominently.

    But she begins the post with a weird non sequitur about how many people read EV and wondering if people from Encinitas Now read EV. It was really odd and out of place, having nothing to do with the rest of the post.

    So I went over to Encinitas Now to see if she was responding to something. That’s when it hit me. I never pay attention to the numbers, but Encinitas Now currently has more than 3x the number of members compared to EV.

    Pretty sure that wasn’t the case not too long ago.

    And I’m sure it’s eating her alive. She bases her whole self-worth on controlling things. Probably drives her nuts that her group is relatively small and lacking in influence compared to other groups. I bet she looks at that number daily.

    Maybe spend less time worrying about control and more on just being a better moderator.

      The subtext is clearly that Dr. L considers herself a power broker. She desperately wants to influence and control who runs, and who wins in next year’s elections. She thinks she has power, and it’s like a drug.

      But then she goes to EN and sees that they have over 3x the membership.

      I bet this was the source of her crisis that caused her to freak out and threaten to go private. The realization that she did not have the power she craves probably drove her off the deep end.

    2. BTW, I went down the rabbit hole to figure out the origins of the Florida “Don’t say gay” bill. It’s proponents claimed third graders were being taught about homosexuality.

      The roots of that claim are thus: Florida had a teachers guide with lesson plans and guidance on how to run specific lessons. One of the lessons for third graders was to draw a picture of their family, and write a sentence or two describing something they do together for fun.

      The lesson guide included the possibility that a student might draw a non-traditional family. And the guidance was basically for the teacher not to be an asshole.

Yes, I would like to be on that page, so I can see what other folks in the community think. But it isn't going to happen. Now, for the other things that have been mentioned about me. I am turning 76 next Weds. so to be honest I have no desire do do much in our city if no one cares about the number of homes being built, that are under the guise of low income, when they are not. If you all want traffic the way it is getting, like the Cardiff cycle trail, like all of the other things that go against the original city plan, then I have no problem with that. I have lived here since 1983, and have been on 2 Commissions, tried to make some sense of what has been going on, etc. Botton line, never thought of myself as a power broker, although I was once asked to run for City Council by the developers in this town. I turned down the invitation as it came with a lot of conditions. Encinitas Votes has been up almost 9 years, with basically me and Glen being the adms. As far as I am concerned, it could just as easily be shut down, except there is nowhere else, except maybe Nextdoor, that people can share "the other side of the story". If everyone is happy with the current regime, then I can rest, read, paint, and do other things I would actually rather do than take the B.S. that comes from other people. I love Cardiff, and I love where I live. My kids cannot afford to live here, and that's OK. I purchased my twin home in 1984 for $115,000. It has two stores, with views on both stories. I was raised to believe in being honest, fair, and kind. I was also raised to fight if need be. And I have been clubbed by cops for protesting Vietnam; fought for Roe v Wade, after my best friend died of a "back alley abortion"; and spent 35 years as a psychologist, before my license was taken due to politics. I wish I could share more about that, but it is confidential information and I could get sued, which I have no interest in doing. I still do pet loss counseling and have a still best selling book entitled "Saying Goodbye to the Pet You Love (2002): New Harbinger:Oakland. So ask me anything. I am not a wealthy woman, even though my home value has shot through the roof. I am actually a Democrat that is rather distressed at the Party at the moment. I don't post much on this blog, although I do read it a couple of times a week. I read it when Julie Thunder was upset about my taking down her post about stalking. She was upset with me as well for taking it down. I told her many people have had their comments or posts placed in this group, and some of the names that I and others have been called, are just names. No one has ever tried to harm me physically, except a couple of e-bikers, and I think it's great that a blog like this is up and running. My latest post on EV was to get involved in the city if you don't like the way things are going. The house was packed when Blakespear tried to fire Bruce Ehlers from the Planning Commission for something he wasn't even doing at the time. NOW, he is on the Council, and in my opinion, doing a great job. I'll stop now, but open to questions, shaming, agism, etc. After spending as many years as I did listening to other people's problems, and having my license taken the way it was, I guess I should have learned to shut up. But that has never been my way, and I may as well keep going until you don't see my name anywhere. I truly wish the best for our beautiful city. In spite of the changes, I still love it here.

    2. how much of what Lorri says is even true. Several years ago she posted a photo of a girl at Woodstock and claimed it was her. LOL WRONG! Google image search showed it was a girl in the 2000s who wore a 60s costume and took a photo at the Woodstock city limits sign. The girl has this photo on her own instagram, including posts showing how she put her outfit together and what filters she used to age the photo

    3. Her lies are nuts.

      Yesterday she claimed the actor from Happy Days blocked her view. Today she says her home has views from both levels.

      She said that she didn’t lose her professional license, then she could easily get it back, then it was political.

      Her page description is a lie. It says the page is for all viewpoints. But here she admits it’s for people who are opposed to city council. And she manipulates it toward that end, blocking people who are critical of challengers.

      She accused a council person of sexual assault, then deleted it and told him publicly how much she enjoyed working with him.

      She’s a narcissistic control freak who makes every subject about her, and every moderating decision about what pleases her. She demands periodically that people demonstrate fealty and stroke her ego.

      “Oh. I’m so frail and old and tired. You people have made this so hard on me. I feel so unappreciated. Maybe I should end this Facebook group. Come on now. Tinker bell is going to die if you don’t clap hard enough. Everyone adore me and shower me with praise, that I might be able to continue running this Facebook group that doesn’t matter anyway.”

      Gimme a break, lady. Get over yourself.

  29. Dear Lorri, it is great to see you here, especially since non-members of EV cannot view the daily posts anymore. I miss having that privilege, but realize you have your reasons.

    I have been a defending supporter of yours in my own way for decades for who you are and what you have stood up for
    going back to the Freedom Rider times.

    1. 3:56. This is Lorri. I thought everyone could read the EV posts so I’ll check when I get home. Can you tell me about how long it’s been since you couldn’t read it? I’ll check the settings and make sure it’s readable. This is the first I’ve heard about this and I’ll change it if META will let me. Love what you said about Freedom Fighters. Yes, those were hard times and they would only let men on those busses. Filner was a Freedom Fighter. I have said I walked with MLK, which is true. I’ve been shamed for that for some reason. When I asked him how he dealt with the hate, he said “ If everyone likes you, you stand for nothing “ So I’ve fought and probably will until in scattered to the sea, which I’ve already paid to have done. I would love a paddle out, but that’s just a wish. Anyway I’ll check EV’a settings when I return home. Maybe you can let me know if you can then see it. My email is lgreene98@aol.com.

    3. Lorri, you keep telling people that you were blocked from EN simply for asking who the admin was, but that is not true. You were blocked because the admin of EN read your post in EV suggesting that someone "hack" EN to find out who was behind the group.

She needs attention. All of her posts scream LOOK AT ME. LOL She even worked "the council doesn't like me" in her long rant on EV, inflating her own importance. Lorri, the council does not care.

    3. a whopping 5 comments is all her EV post got. EV is not relevant to most people. It's the same members commenting over and over, not a robust conversation. It may have a lot of members, but they definitely are not active. A good moderator sets the tone and engagement. Lorri fails miserably at that. She kicked out good people but kept the Pam Slater Prices and Fred Laras...that says a lot.

  37. The people that hate lorri are some on Encinitas biggest losers. The sellout/dumbass Stocks was the OG sellout to developers, he was owned by developers and dropped like the deuce he is when voters kicked him to the curb. Jeff, the mission beach coke head whose brain is so fried he thinks 3rd deserves a participation trophy. Jeff couldn’t sell finance services, dick implants or voters and his Tranny Devito wife can’t sell RE even during the peak market. Being a Jeff follower is probably the only thing worse than being Jeff. Basically, everyone that hates on lorri has a long record of being a loser that only real estate developers like because they are useful idiots. Nobody is perfect but I would take lorri over any of her perpetually losing detractors any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
