VRBO / AIRBNB - starting to show up in Irvine
- Thread starter OC troll
- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Ha ha, they should also start a reward program for people who report the violators. Whoever report it get a cut of the fine.
I already placed an order for my "HOA Police" badge on Amazon. Motto: "To creep and snitch."
Gonna report another house that epoxy their entire front porch...wtf lol
Epoxy on the front porch!? You gotta post a pic of this.
Usually any exterior paint or modification needs to be approved by the HOA to insure it's keeping with the asthetics of the community if visible from common areas. I'm assuming the sidewalk step and porch meet that criteria.
From a look standpoint, I don't find it neither horrible nor great and I doubt it looks notably worse than any other solution. It's biggest distraction is likely that when you realize what it is, it has a sense of 'went cheap.'
Actual, it is not for him or her the owner to decide, they bought and agreed to an HOA. It is exterior and therefore the domain of the HOA to decide what is acceptable. I'm frankly amused how often people on talkirvine living in Irvine really don't understand the basics of living in their planned and governed CC&R communities.
All that said, the HOA may have approved this. I'd be surprised though especially given epoxy's slipperyness when wet even with non slip additives.

There's different factors regarding this issue:
1. It's all about tax revenue for the city. Unless there is agreement from the sharing service and the city, the city doesn't get no monies/mula.
2. You know the classic argument, the sharing service takes away revenue from hotels, and they might have to lay off staff.
My take: the rooms at hotels should be competitively priced from the beginning, this is another example like ride sharing

Often that price competitiveness disappears as soon as the sharing provider pays the same regulatory and tax fess as the none sharing provider.
I can provide us incredibly cheap power and water if I can ignore the regulations in doing so and that frankly is what much of the sharing economy really is.
I used the forerunners of Airbus to rent vacation places in Hawaii and elsewhere in the mid-90s. Since each was local, each complied with local fees etc. Amazon started the same way with predatory pricing and not collecting taxes. After growing and crippling many competitors, they've done away with their ultra low prices and collect taxes.

Kind of amazing Irvine has the most Airbnb listings in OC, even more than Anaheim, Newport, Huntington, and Laguna, where you'd expect most listings. Since this is unlawful, the City of Irvine should demand that Airbnb et al to stop listing Irvine properties.nyc to oc said:

I can't find the Irvine civil code or ordinance that bans AirBNB or VRBO. Does anyone know?

Why is this illegal? Looks better than some of the bare concrete I've seen.

Is there some anti-epoxy HOA rule?
Didn't know that was against the CC&Rs.

All about saving the some bucks. Although this could have stain or lay some tiles if he would want to go cheap. Again, this is really for him or her "The Owner". I really have no saying.....

Still see Irvine listings on Airbnb, three are just down the street from me. So how do I report them? Guess I'll just email the city hall division that should be responsible? And I still can't find the city code that bans short term rentals less than 30 days as cited by ocregister.
