Comment on Why are we building homes when so many are standing empty?

  I wouldn’t visit.

  I have two children, and the number of hotels where I can get joining rooms so I dont have to actually share with them is basically zero.

    It didn’t prevent tourists from visiting before so I’m sure you would just learn to live with it.

    Anyway, short term rental and the abundance of tourists compared to locals caused by short term rentals actually hurts the local economy because it drives out people who are present 24/7 and need non tourist oriented services.

      And thats fine. I’m just letting you know how I feel about this.

      Banning short term rentals is one thing, but can we please at least request that hotels fill the gap that this creates?
