    If the aim is to curb overtourism and to fix the housing crisis then no, it’s still not fine.

      I don’t know who you think you replied to… but I agree. More is needed.

      This is a good start. Putting hundreds if not thousands of Appartments back on the market for permanent living is good. And at the same time you increase livability in neighborhoods.

        Ah, it was mostly to your point that renting out rooms is fine as long as it’s supervised/closely looked at. Renting out to tourists is bad in my opinion, flat out. Tourists should be lodged at dedicated buildings (hotels/hostels) and the rest should be for local populace.

          Air BnB started for people with a spare room. Cause then it’s just small scale and supervised. Or to rent out when you yourself are on vacation… like home swapping. And I think both are fine if they are the exception.

            Evidence shows such “rules” are ripe for abuse though. Let’s keep tourists in hotels. That system worked for decades without outpricing locals.
