'They killed our city': Locals feel helpless as vacation rentals overrun Sedona, Arizona
Residents in Sedona are struggling to find long-term housing in the city after a state law prohibited the city from regulating short-term rentals.
Julieanna Bottorff has lived in her quiet Sedona neighborhood for 20 years. A deer path that runs behind her house and across the street was regularly trafficked by wildlife.
Then a developer moved in across the street and ripped up the path, she says.
The developer plans to build as many as five 6,000-square-foot homes to be used as short-term rentals, neighbors say. The once quiet street is now punctuated with the steady noise of construction.
The move comes as residents of the tourist hotspot grapple with the consequences of a two-year-old state law that restricts how cities and towns can regulate short-term home rentals advertised on websites such as Airbnb or VRBO.
