Even more interesting is that the person running for president has no problem renting out houses in a manner that is counter to St. Petersburg's zoning codes. This gives the residents in Lakewood some insight as to her morality. It's ok to break laws as long as its for your own personal financial benefit.? If you need a room by the hour- head to the Crystal Motel! LMAO!!.

Thank you for reporting this issue to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete. We have forwarded the information you have provided to our Codes Compliance Assistance Department, and they will now inspect the location and take any necessary action. Sincerely, Mayor's Action Center

So, TurtleToucher, or Anonymous, or LECA President, or Judy or whatever name you choose to go by today. If you actually look at her posting, she is well within the city ordinance by advertising the property as a 30 day rental. So, while you take the juvenile high road by referring to her as a room by the hour Crystal Hotel, let's talk about the LECA President and her very illegal and outside city ordinance signs she has posted on top of her privacy fence. She knows the city ordinances better than the mayor it would seem, though she willfully decides to break city code and do whatever she wants because of the scepter she has wielded for far too long. I'm glad this woman is running for the new president. Time to replace the dictator that has established residence on Juarez and bring in fresh blood and maybe establish credibility again with the city and surrounding neighborhoods. What a waste of city time and money on a non issue.

Had you actually read and understood the post, she is renting rooms by the day. I feel sorry for you. You remind me of the little boy with the baseball glove who asks the other kids to throw the ball to him, but nobody does. You have spent so much time bullying people on your computer that you have lost touch with reality and what is truly going on in this neighborhood. Time has passed you by. If you feel suicidal or realize you need mental help, please respond. There are amazing social services in this area that can try and help you. In the meantime, the non emergency police number is 727-893-7780, or just call 911. Please understand that the only person you are destroying with your negativity is yourself. Everyone else is laughing at you. I hope you can get the help you need before it is too late.

Oh TurtleTackler, or Judy, you are so sweet in your concern for me. What blows my mind is all of the different names you post on this site under. Like someone with schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder. Or maybe, someone who has served 11 overly long years as president of the association who feels the winds of change blowing through the neighborhood and is attempting to hold on to the only thing that gives you purpose. But I digress, maybe it is you, Judy, who needs the help you have offered. I wish you luck Judy.
PS. I have read the complaint and I looked at her BnB page and she is offering the property within city parameters. Good luck getting her shut down.

Sorry, John. This isn't me. If you find out who it is, please let me know.

Sure, whatever you say TurtleTickler. Or Judy. And this isn't John. I have no idea who you are even talking about.

I am the owner of the property in question. And yes, I am challenging Turtletracker-2, aka Judy Ellis, aka Charles, aka anonymous, aka several other monikers, for the post of president of the Lakewood Estates Civic Association. As Judy knows, I am well aware of the city ordinance on vacation rentals. For that reason, I only rent my property for a minimum of 30 days. The confusion may result from the inflexibility of the AirBnb software. It requires that one establish a base rate per day since most site users around the world rent on a short-term basis. From the daily rate one has to fill in a space for weekly and monthly discounts in order for the software to calculate those rates. The more significant figure, and that which the computer uses to accept reservations, is the minimum length of stay, which in my case, is 30 days. I hope that clarifies things. Please, let's stop using this invaluable city resource to carry out personal attacks or harass Lakewood residents. It's a waste of Demetrius Johnson's time as well as of precious city revenue.
