The Housers Podcast
Are Short Term Rentals Bad for Vermont’s Economy?
We’re joined by Julie Marks of the Vermont Short Term Rental Alliance (VTSTRA) to take a deeper look at what STRs mean to the Vermont economy and what role STRs play or don’t play in the housing crisis in Vermont and in the country. Listeners will get a sense for the profile of many STR owners and what role STRs can play in housing people under a variety of circumstances.
In the Housers hometown of Rutland, VT local leadership has opposing views on the role of STRs. We hope to spark a vibrant and balanced conversation to benefit our community’s housing ecosystem through our podcast and advocacy for the use of STRs.
Julie will be joining us on April 25, 2025 1:30PM for a live and in-person discussion during the monthly meeting of our advocacy group Partners in Housing. This will take place at The Hub CoWorks and by remote meeting.
