Visitors to the Belmar municipal Web site soon will be able to zoom in on a satellite picture or map of the borough's 320 summer rental homes to a street-level view of the properties, the Asbury Park Press reports. Clicking on a specific address on the Web site, powered by GoogleEarth, will enable visitors to keep tabs on the legal status of rentals designated as "animal houses" in Belmar, according to Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle. The information online will serve not only the interests of permanent residents wary and watchful of summer rowdies, but those seasonal renters with an interest in properties subject to legal entanglements, he said.

Summer rental website segregates homeowners
(ASBURY PARK, N.J., June 20, 2007) -- The Belmar Rental 411.com Web site does nothing but further prove that Belmar is using public funds to contribute to a pattern of segregation between homeowners and landlords who rent their homes to summer renters.

I just think people should boycott Belmar totally. They don't deserve your money.
