The best thing would be to ban AirBNB and rental housing. Those two artificially restrict the supply of housing to an absurd extent and drive up the costs of everyone else’s housing.

I’m not alone in this - several cities have already banned AirBNB.




lol how do you figure that rental housing restricts total supply?


It inflates the prices of desirable areas because there is less housing available to purchase, especially for the currently renting tenants who ostensibly wish to someday become homeowners.
