Totally agree, but imo airbnb is an accelerator making the profit out of housing investment more lucrative, increasing short term profit margins (instead of let's say owning buildings and maintaining them for long term renters producing gradual but steady profit). It has also accelerated the concentration of real estate to fewer companies. The problem is that now the market is like this, even if airbnb just disappeared.
