Love it when advice really works. Thx RB

Hey Ric, I am not sure if you remember but I sat next to on a flight from Sydney to Gold Coast one evening and we had a long chat. I was an intensive care nurse from xxxxxx.

This position does not preclude me from bringing some alarming statistics to the attention of my neighbours. My next door neighbours are nice people, but they are AirBnB operators and while the majority of people they have had stay are nice people, it does get tiring helping people understand that sitting next door to my bedroom playing music and laughing till 1 in the morning gets a bit tiresome for people that work and have to get up in the morning. It's nice to hear people happy, but here are some statistics to show that it is not fair on full-time residents to have to deal with overnight visitors every few days. Number of households in Byron Bay: 3300 reference  2011 Number of AirBnb units Byron Shire available: 1483! ref inside Airbnb THIS MEANS THAT JUST UNDER HALF OF THE HOUSES IN BYRON BAY ARE BEING USED FOR AIRBNB.
