Coming 11 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: up in Marshall's News In about ten minutes before that, 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: we got Tim the lawyer in the studio. Tim Sanderford, 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: vice president for Litigation at the Goldwater Institute, where they 14 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: busily fight for liberty. Perhaps you've heard of it. What 15 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: have you guys been doing lately? A couple of wins? 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: Huh yeah. We want a couple of cases in one 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: in Florida and one in California involving home sharing, you 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: know where people allow people to stay in their homes 19 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: like an Airbnb or home away or something like that, 20 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of communities across the country are trying 21 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: to violate people's private property rights by telling them that 22 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: they're not allowed to do that and imposing these blanket 23 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: bands and and and so forth. So we this is 24 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: an issue that that we've really taken on at the 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: Goldwater Institute, and we want a case in Pacific Grove, California, 26 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: just recently where the court there said that that violated 27 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: the California Coastal Act. Now that's interesting because the California 28 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Coastal Act says that the Coastal Commission has the authority 29 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: to set the rules for how people use their land 30 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: along the coast. And usually they're very anti private property rights, 31 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: environmentalist radicals, but in this case, they actually like home 32 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: sharing because it's a way of allowing people to to 33 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: to spend the weekend and enjoy the beach without building 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: new hotels and things like that. So they're actually rather 35 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: pro home sharing. So they've said that they don't want 36 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: cities to outlaw people allowing allowing people to use their homes. 37 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: So we won that case in the trial court recently, 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: and we want an even bigger case in Florida where 39 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,279 Speaker 1: they were uh that that community in Miami Dade County 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: was prohibiting people from using their homes for short term 41 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: rentals with these incredibly exorbitant fines like hundreds of thousands 42 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: of dollars per violation, which we said violated the constitutional 43 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: prohibition on excessive finds because both the federal and state 44 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: constitutions prohibit the government from imposing these excessive fines. And fortunately, 45 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: Florida state law also said the same thing. It's set 46 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: the number the amount of finds that cities are allowed 47 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: to levy. And the court said that that was illegal, 48 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: that what the city was doing, and struck down the 49 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: entire ordinance. So we're still doing some cases in places 50 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: like Illinois, for example, where Illinois Chicago's rule on home 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: sharing is you have to get a license, and when 52 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: you get a license, among other things, the city is 53 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: allowed to search your property quote at any time and 54 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: for any reason. Wow, expended amendments and and we're not 55 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: talking and you know, we're talking about people's homes here, 56 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: you know, so it's it's even more extreme than that. 57 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: It's just in So unfortunately, this is one of those 58 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: situations where nimbiism and this this this basic fundamental premise 59 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: people have that they have a right to tell other 60 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: people how to live their lives is so deeply rooted 61 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: that even people that you talk to who normally say, well, 62 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: I'm in favor of private property rights and limited government 63 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: in the constitution, many of them will even turn around 64 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: and say, well, but I have a right to tell 65 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: my neighbor what he can do with his land. Now, 66 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: we're not saying that that people should be allowed to 67 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: have loud party houses or something like that. Of course, 68 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: the city should be able to crack down on nuisances, 69 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: on noise and things like that. But you don't ban 70 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: all backyard barbecues just because sometimes people get a little rowdy, 71 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: or or make it illegal to have a Super Bowl 72 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: party just in the entire city, just because sometimes one 73 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: or two people have too much parking on the street 74 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: or something. But that's the way this is being approached nationwide, 75 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: and it's a real shame because home sharing is good 76 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: for local economies. It brings tourists into into towns to 77 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: patronize local businesses and restaurants that otherwise would never go. 78 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I've I've done this. I was in too 79 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: a vacation to New Orleans not long ago and stayed 80 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: at a home sharing at a home and we we 81 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: went all to to all these little local restaurants and things. 82 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: We would have never gone there if we had stayed 83 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: at the big hotel downtown. So this is another situation 84 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: where trying to dictate to other people how they use 85 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: their property and how they live their lives is also 86 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: bad for the economy and bad for for people who 87 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: need homesharing to pay their bills. You lift up your 88 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: shirt and get some beads in New Orleans, You know 89 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: I probably could I stopped. I saw McDonald so much nowadays. 90 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: What's your Twitter feed? Because you got one of the 91 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: best Twitter feeds out there. It's my my full name 92 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: at Timothy Sanda for which I probably should have shortened 93 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: because it takes up too many letters. Well, it shows 94 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: up on our Twitter feed a lot, and I'm glad 95 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: you fight for You ever consider doing slipping falls? No. 96 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: I went to law school because I wanted to sue 97 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: the government. It's the best the world. I would do 98 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: it for free if I had to. In fact, I 99 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: sort of do because I don't charge my clients.
