In case you missed it, the Lexington Herald-Leader published a story Oct. 23 about how lobbyists for AirBnB, VRBO and other short-term rental interests want the General Assembly to prevent local governments from regulating them, as Lexington has done.

If such legislation, which was proposed last year, is passed and becomes law, there likely could be no limit on how many properties in our neighborhood could be converted from full-time residences into short-term rentals. It would reverse the local ordinances Lexington has approved.
