- “Home sharing is the practice where locals either move out of their primary dwelling temporarily to accommodate short term renters or else provide a separate space for renters... I would like to see locals allowed in the right circumstances to provide limited tenting in their backyard for visitors, with support in setting up proper facilities.” — The Islands Grapevine – March 23rd, 2023 (March 23rd, 2023)
