I get the idea, but is AirBnB the real issue? Tourists will want somewhere to stay, and travel is cool. The fact that capitalism doesn’t provide anywhere near enough housing was a problem before AirBnB and remains a problem now. Maybe I misunderstand.

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.
