          The community must pass laws to protect occupancy expectations.

          I hate all the “fuck Airbnb” hate when it isn’t coupled with “fuck my local council, etc” because they are the real enemy, they and their buddies are all in cahoots

          Enforce zoning regulations and apply rental laws or hotel regulations to Air BnBs. If you make them actually follow the rules, it suddenly becomes vastly less profitable.

          Eliminate zoning and other regulations that make it impossible to build sufficient housing supply.

      The housing crisis is caused by property taxes being too low, particularly on land values. Banning small rentals won’t work because they’ll continue to extract rent under longer-term leases.

      We already have plenty of houses. Increase taxes and their market values will drop.

        The housing crisis is caused by many things.

        Ban the ownership of single family residential properties by corporations. I don’t see a world where it makes sense for houses to be owned by companies.
