Airbnb landlords do though. As do business owners catering to tourism.

> are not really entitled to cheap accommodations

Are locals "entitled" to this either? If accommodation is too expensive, it'll simply reduce tourism, and tourism money..

Tourism jobs are generally low-wage menial work, and tourists also have the effect of driving local prices up. Particularly the kind of tourism that would benefit from high AirBnB availability.

Last I checked, locals have the right to vote, and tourists do not.

Sad thing (for the people against tourism, which might be the majority in certain places...)is that those don't vote... (1 person 1 vote) but they do lobby/bribes...

Again, I'm just saying listen to what the majority want... you know... good old school democracy...
