This was the original Seminole Heights blog with commentary about life in and around the urban neighborhood of Seminole Heights in Tampa, Florida. Musings about other topics as my mood permits. The blog is essentially inactive since I moved to Lutz. Go to The Official Unofficial Seminole Heights Blog - www.seminoleheightsblog.com for active content.
Rafe, in the post on hotels said "Seeing stuff like this makes me consider the viability of opening a B&B in the neighborhood. "
Yes,yes,yes! Think of what a great B&B an old 2 story house could be, along the river. Or even not along the river but with a great backyard.

There was an attempt to pass a B&B law in the city to make this sort of thing legal. The Hyde Park residents got upset over the idea their neighbor might make a home into a B&B and scuttled the bill through various means. One of the restrictions they added was that there could be no more than 5 rooms, a manager had to live there, and there had to be off-street parking for one car per room + 1 for the manager.
This made it economically unfeasable the and parking requirement made 99% of the properties too small. The bill died.
B&B's on non-commerical lots are not legal in Seminole Heights.
a B&B is a business. I wouldn't want one to open up next to my house. Do you really think OSHNA would approve of commercial intrusion into the neighborhood?
Linda Saul-Sena is the only politician who supports B&B's in Tampa.
Personally, I think they would make Tampa an even better place.
Anonymous - why wouldn't you want one next door?
because business slides, new owners take over and soon your quant B&B turns into a dump rooming house.
besides would you really want all the additional traffic &parking issues.
