The latest salvo across the bow of the good ship Free Enterprise is the decision to enforce a long-standing bylaw prohibiting the short-term rental of homes. An estimated 300 Salt Spring homes are rented to visitors who seek that particular kind of accommoda tion. They want a large space in which a family can be comfortable staying, with all the facilities that a full-sized house will offer. One of the arguments against the practice has been the impact it has on the availability of housing for residents, particularly those seeking "affordable" housing. In fact, the Trust has gone as far as to suggest that the vacation home rental pool ought to be tapped for "affordable housing." The question arises: affordable for whom? How much will a vacation home that rents for $2,000 a week command on a monthly, long-term basis? Surely the rate will be well beyond the means of a family that requires so-called afford able housing. The shortage of the latter is an issue that deserves greater Trust attention than the illegality of short-term rentals. But the two issues must be considered separately. Another objection to vacation home rentals is the disruption such an activity can cause within a neighbourhood.
