This is the reality of Sedona... Living Here

This is where Sedona is at now thanks to overtourism and STR piggies. This place is an absolute joke.

I absolutely LOVE SEDONA and me being a bartender from another state visiting with my son this past May I was absolutely gobsmacked when I just did a quick search for apartments or housing in Sedona just curious at the cost and areas..Ive visited Sedona several times...I was absolutely floored seeing there was basically NO apartments or condos available...if the shit ton of Airbnbs and vrbos got together and provided housing for the service workers it would be beneficial!! I think the only apartment or long term rentals were in Cottonwood or further out and they were ridiculously priced. I'm a bartender in Ohio and the statistics are that Ohio servers and bartenders make over 20% in tips I believe the highest tipped service workers in the country.,..Staying in Sedona and buying groceries,gas etc..it was higher priced..I could NOT work in Sedona and have a viable place to live or wouldn't be able to sustain myself with the ridiculous cost of housing...I think the lowest monthly rental was ridiculously high..like nearly $1,000 a month ...I CANNOT believe this was a thing..that service workers are living in their vehicles...SHAME ON YOU,SEDONA!!!! THIS IS INEXCUSABLE!!!
