Berlin bans Airbnb from renting apartments to protect affordable housing
- visarga 10y ago> "I am absolutely determined to return such misappropriated apartments to the people of Berlin and to newcomers" Eh? I thought the owners had a right to rent their apartments. I wouldn't want to be in owners' place right now.
