Dear <politician_name>,

Now that Alberta’s municipal elections are behind us, it’s time to get to work.

I’m writing as a concerned resident in <postal_code>. Like many Albertans, I support responsible home-sharing — people renting out a room or suite to make ends meet. But what we’re seeing today goes far beyond that.

The rise of unregulated ‘ghost hotels’ — multiple properties bought up and run like hotels in residential neighbourhoods — is putting real pressure on our communities. It’s making housing harder to find and more expensive. It’s putting local safety at risk. And it’s letting big businesses benefit from tax loopholes that everyday homeowners don’t get.

Our neighbourhoods deserve better. Our tax dollars should support community needs — not subsidize commercial operators pretending to be local hosts.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about protecting the safety, affordability, and livability of Alberta communities. I’m asking you to support clear, common-sense rules:

* A primary residence requirement to stop commercial ghost hotels.
* Fair taxation for commercial short-term rentals, so they pay their share.
* Strong enforcement tools to give municipalities the power to act.

Now is the time to act — so that Alberta families and communities can thrive.

Sincerely,
<full_name>
