Monterey County’s short-term rental ordinance in coastal zone is certified by a majority of the California Coastal Commission. MC Supervisor Lopez voted against certification as expected. Here’s sore background:

Sure, move to Texas cuz it's cheaper -- for now.
But if you have a 30-year mortgage, check those flood/fire/hurricane maps verrryyyy closely.
Just like California, Texas builds most of its car sprawl in high risk flood/fire zones. There's a good chance your mortgage is uninsurable by 2035.
