Sedona, AZ — I support “Safe Place To Park” and commend the city staff and council for this forward-thinking social program. Sedona is a beautiful city but is not a real community because of the imbalance in housing caused by the state of Arizona SB-1350’s ban on local control of STRs and the loss of affordable housing.
