Today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced, beginning Monday, the state would move into a “full Phase One,” and short-term rentals can reopen if counties submit a plan for opening safely. DeSantis added, “If your plan says you’re going to accept guests from New York City, I’m probably not going to accept that.”
Throughout Florida’s shutdown, DeSantis has kept timeshares, resorts, hotels, motels, and inns open. He gave his reason for that today saying that he needed to have places to “put up” national guard if needed.
DeSantis’ message to counties: “For the vacation rentals, what we’re doing is telling counties, if you want short-term rentals—if you want them to be open—you submit your plan and you can show how they are going to be safe.”
Bars and movie theaters also remain closed, but like vacation rentals, amusement parks can submit plans to the state show they plan to reopen safely.
In addition, DeSantis further opened restaurants and retail, effective Monday to 50 percent.
That’s bullshit! His National Guard can stay at short term rentals and be safer. Short term rentals usually don’t have common areas that hotels and motels do making them more dangerous then the condos he’s banned. He’s a lying piece of shit!
If only Governor DeSantis had members on his panel that owned a vacation rentals, vacation rentals would be open already…like he did for those who owned hotels that were on the panel. This is a political scheme!
