If the apartments are being turned into hotels, why doesn’t the government simply turn the hotels into apartments?

Would be nice if there was an “ethical” filter for Airbnb. They’re often a superior way to stay when visiting a city due to proximity to local attractions and not being a hotel zombie. In Portland, the Airbnb owners have to be primary residents of whatever property they’re making available

At first I misread that as “displeased” and thought it was a bit extreme.

sadly for the kind of people who stay in airbnbs this will just make it better for them
probably wank themselves off to the thought of taking up space that could be used for families of locals on their bougie holiday
