What percentage fall into that category, holding out for AirBNB type renting instead? Is there some threshold for it to be bad and worthy of some regulation? Do we apply the same rules to multiunit places as individual homes?
sorry, but that post you link to is pretty much a rant against wealth and accumulation of and anyone trying to get some apparently isn't allowed unless they share it. that kind of thinking launches no new businesses, instead its the type that results in regulations that prevent competition and innovation all under the guise of "fairness" and "for the children/environment/oppressed" etc.
We have already seen the results where governments tried to enforce fairness and equality by not rewarding competition and innovation. It wasn't pretty and it only works for so long before a generation or two passes and realizes the best days are past

- michaelmrose 10y agoIf there is already a significant shortage of housing it might not be in the peoples interest to allow a business model that encourages people to buy up existing stock and turn it into unregulated hotels. You might argue that the real problem is the shortage of housing and even point to other causes but any solution to same might be years in coming if it comes at all. In the meanwhile if its a significant negative to individual states/counties/cities I see no reason not to enforce existing or enact in fact new regulations to forbid it. Surely those with access to significant capital can find other ways to profitably invest their money.
