It'd be better if there was enough housing to support normal residential uses AND Airbnb, but it's easier to just blame Airbnb for problems.

- scarface_74 3y agoOr you know, if you want short term rentals for tourists - build more hotels in commercial districts that are professionally managed.
- TulliusCicero 3y agoVacation homes are a somewhat different kind of thing. In practice, hotels don't support the same use cases or charge exorbitant rates to do so.
- scarface_74 3y agoIt’s amazing how much more it costs to be a legally run, commercial short term rental that is professionally managed , follows all regulations and pays the legally required taxes isn’t it? BTW, I live in (and own) a vacation home almost permanently - a condotel - that meets all of the above requirements. In fact we can’t live here more than 179 consecutively without leaving for some time and renting it out to follow the law. I knew what I signed up for and we made that choice. It would be completely different when we bought our house in the burbs that was zoned “residential” https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/condotel.asp https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/condotel.asp
