There should be different zoning and taxes for different types of homes. A primary residence only zone for example. There is a huge difference between primary residents and vacation/rental homes and their role in society.
In the same way "ride sharing" is a loophole to have a taxi company without the regulations, Airbnb found a loophole for running a hotel company without the regulations.
The homes rented out for days at a time should not count toward the housing supply and only be allowed on designated areas just like hotels.
- bennysonething 4y agoSo people who want to rent shouldn't be allowed to live near people who buy? Why?
- brianwawok 4y agoIt’s a PC friendly way to say you don’t want to live by poor people.
- filoleg 4y agoI honestly believe that the grandparent comment didn't have such intent in mind. However, even though OP likely didnt have such intentions, I agree with your overall assessment of what would happen. If their proposal was implemented on scale, it would have naturally ended up in a situation that you are describing. And for that reason (+a lot of other unwanted second-order effects others have mentioned), I am definitely not into the idea of such zoning at all.
- kyleee 4y agothat's an uncharitable response; poster explicitly mentioned short term rentals and vacations homes being problematic, not all renters as you've stated
