Excerpt from Mountain Xpress article: "Robertson and a group of fellow short-term rental operators have banded together to form ASTRA, the Asheville Short-Term Rental Association. The group aims to serve as a resource for property owners and as a voice for their concerns. ASTRA’s group Facebook page has attracted 417 likes in the two months it’s been online. Posts on the page include links to articles challenging arguments advanced by those short-term rental opponents, letters from satisfied short-term rental customers and the results of a small survey of previous short-term rental guests in Asheville."
