Come to Amsterdam. Its city wide hobby to shit on Airbnb by residents and complain to newspapers and city. They even had an official city sponsored online participation board dedicated to complaining about airbnb. And it was pretty successful. Now so much registration is required to rent on Airbnb and max days that pretty much only professionals are left. They also gave like 10k fines to citizens who forgot a few things or days in the registration process. So the pendulum swung the other way here.

So housing is cheap now, right?

Right?

Housing prices are more complex than that, but it’s inarguable that more houses on the market means cheaper prices.

Out of curiosity, do you own properties specifically to rent on short term rental sites?

[cycrutchfield]

No, I own a property that I exclusively rent long-term. So I don’t have an interest in short term rentals, except as a traveler that likes to use them.
