Lodiøs ond Gentlernen:
f om lhe owner of a vqcqlion rantql qt 885 Buchon Slreet ond
wh¡leT om owore of the concerns expressed by o f ew Peo1te
regarding The írnpoct of a vocotíon r¿ntol on o neighborhood, I
would encourcrge you go dírectly to the source rother thon be
swqyed by opínion.
ff you were to ask every neighbor on my block ond behínd me if
they hove experienced qny problems qs G result of my renlol, T
om certoin they would qssure you they have not. fn foct, two of
rny neighbors are co-workers of yours: Bob H¡ll qnd Gorrett
Olson. Perhops you could qsk them if they object to my home
being used f or weekend guests.
Let me address some of the specif íc concerns I have heqrd
rqised:
(1) Parking--my guests pcrk off-streel in r"ny drivewoy. Besides,
every porkíng spoce an my block is filled by 9:0Oom wilh people
who work in th¿ city qnd don't wont to poy f or porkíng.
(2) Strong ers in the neighborhood--one of ¡he more ludicrous
objections. No less that 500 to 1000 "strongers" wolk by my
house daily. We're not livíng in o gate-guarded community
here**This is o cíty.
(3) Loss of work f orce housing---this is o vocoTion horn e f or
me. f live in this house 5 months eochyear ond use iT qs o
vocotion rentol while I om traveling'rhe rest of 'fhe year. 50, it
would never be o condidate f or work f orce housing.
(a) Noise--there are 3 Student rentols on my block. f have
hosted numerous guests in 2013 ond ïhere has not been o síngle
noise complqint to my knowledge. The studants mqke alíttle
noise from time to time.

(5) Increqsed crime qnd lowered properÌy volues---f will agree
wilh the critics whenT see the doto.
(6) A level ploying field with the hotels--f hove obsolulely no
problem collecTing cnd poying toxes.
f hope you will eventuolly crof t q reasonqble vocotion røntol plon
which will permit c lírnited number of licensed ond guolity
controlled rentqls within a defín¿d ge,agrcrphic oreo.
Thonk you for your time und considerstion.
Sincer ely ,
Roy Bruder, Ph.D.
