A total ban is the only sane policy for Airbnb. There obviously needs to be accommodation in cities for visitors, but that shouldn’t be at the expense of housing units for people who actually live there. More governments should follow Barcelona’s lead.

Our towns in NH, the organizing structure of community life, are being hollowed out by str, and the rents for the *very* few available long-term rentals are simply astronomical.

It seems like the entire business model is meant to accommodate the temporary parking of money by the Uber wealthy. Costly to the rest of the community I think.

And in the punctual case of Barcelona, it's become an extremely unsafe, absurdly expensive city over the last few years. Not sure Airbnb-type rentals are the direct culprit of these factors though. There are other platforms; Airbnb is just the easiest target to blame.

especially when Barcelona has sooooo many hotels because of the conferences and already had lots of short-term rental services because people would move out for a week and let their flat to a company who needed to bring staff to MWC

What the article doesn't say: the mayor has ties with several of the hotel chains (who did generous donations to his campaign). They're glad to get rid of the competition (unregulated apartment rentals).

There is an actual use case for a platform like Airbnb, but they’ve gone so far past any net societal benefit I’m willing to just band them into nonexistence

It’s not at all the only sane policy. Why can’t I rent out my house while I go on holiday? Just regulate it heavily like Amsterdam has done. Max 30 days a year and AirBnB has to report it to the council. Also only Airbnb-ing your primary residence should be possible.

We should outlaw hotel rooms next. Hotel rooms are also living space not available for local residents.

I’m pretty sure Los Angeles county has done something similar. There aren’t any short term airbnbs available.
