> slight densification I don't think this is seeing the issue the right way. Building sufficient housing to reduce the pure free-market price of temporary / hotel stays to a level where housing is still accessible to locals is likely to permanently change the character of many locations. Perhaps from a quiet mountain town to Disney World. IMO, the residents of such towns, and other potentially attractive locations, have the right to keep their community the way it is rather than be swamped by tourists and high-rises to house them. It is likely better to regulate the short-term housing volume instead, such that the free-market price of that housing goes high enough to reduce the demand to a level that the community feels is consistent with maintaining its character.
