Regarding the airBNB discussion:  l'am oft the mind that Iwould like to limit or restrict the number of these in the Town. Ai few are fine - but we need to somehow cap the number if not reduce the number that are available. as well as limit them to a predetermined zone if that is feasible. As far as the last bit (predetermined zone) around the downtown area in my mind is best. It may be  beneficial to the businesses that operate there.
