    This and huge taxes on AirBnBs. I live on an island that is a regular tourist spot, and housing is so scarce there are people who work full time living in tents in the woods because they can’t find a place to live.

    In Alaska.

    And there are still a bunch of AirBnBs here.

      AirBNB/short term rentals shouldn’t exist. It’s a hotel if the owner isn’t living on site. Hotels are subject to taxes, regulations, and zoning laws.
