Curiously, I grew up in NJ, where 40% [0] or more of certain shore towns are rented out at least part of the year. We vacation there and yet it doesn't seem to negatively effect the towns. There is mix of full time residents, part time residents, and 100% rentals, and it's the way it's been for decades. Yet Ocean City, Wildwood, etc are flourishing.

Considering these towns have been so rental focused for decades before Air BnB was a thing, it feels to me like the model works well for towns that embrace it. Am I wrong?
