This can be both changing sentiment of how the local community views rentals in their community (economic development & tourism versus affordability concerns) as well how rentals are impacting (nuisance complaints) their community.\ \ Examples: local journalism that doesn't fall into the News category, because it doesn't provide a notice of immediate changes to regulations. Blog posts from local experts. TV reports. Well researched policy briefs. * **Opinion** is broadcasting someone's perspective on how rentals should be managed in a community or jurisdiction.\ \ Examples: letters to the editor, guest columns, and editorials. ### Data Points We standardize the information we track across content types to make it easier to find what you're looking for (and to make our analysis easier).

It is important to highlight their work, and if you're interested in a new market... make sure to do a deep dive of local reporting to understand the community's dynamics before looking to understand the ordinances, taxes, and regulation requirements.
