Your sentence is incomprehensible. Please explain how I'm contradicting myself.
> AirBnb is for short-term rentals only. It does not target people in Montreal looking for 12 month rolling tenancies. But it does reduce supply as landlords move from supplying 12 month places to airbnb. If we made life harder for airbnb supply would go up of rentals for families. Or landlords would sell up reducing prices and allowing families who presently rent to buy.
Why should we favor 12-month rentees at the expense of the rest of society, to the point of forcing everyone else out?
> They bring nothing to the community and make life harder for many families.
I know right? They've brought absolutely nothing of value to the millions of customers who use their service. That's why they keep using it, of course!
