      True! Getting rid of these AirBnBs probably doesn’t hurt things though. Now they might actually get a long-term resident.

        It probably doesn’t but you have to wonder why that company was so successful to begin with. I feel like we are celebrating a weight loss company getting banned.

        There is a housing shortage, there is a hotel room shortage. Someone took advantage of that. Getting rid of that someone doesn’t stop the next person.
