Governments are starting to combat short term rentals (better late than never) and airbnb has been suffering from ‚enshittification‘ in the past years so hopefully we see a trendreversal in the future
this map is just a visualization of the moment „local charm“ officially became „investment opportunity.“
The problem with Paris is that it doesn’t have an old city and monuments and points of interest are spread all over the city so Airbnbs are also everywhere, making it impossible to find a place to rent
It is completely within the control of the government to stop this. They have in many cities. Anyone complaining should direct their grievances to them, not to Airbnb, the people listing on there or those that rent them.
End landlords
IMO, ban it or tax it in a way that feeds back into local communities.
Edinburgh in Scotland is (was?) just as bad. The local council have introduced several things. First, AirBnBs now need licenses to operate. In order to apply for a license, you also need permission to turn a residence into a business. But, the council ensured that the local policies give them the legal backing to not grant licenses for turning residences into businesses whilst we have a housing shortage.
Secondly, the vast majority of AirBnBs are flats (apartments) in shared buildings with other flats. So the council made a rule that it would not grant a license for an AirBnB where the „guests“ were using a common entry/stair with non-AirBnB residents.
There is a long introduction period where the AirBnBs that were already operating are allowed to run down the clock, but time is running out so they are gradually trying to apply for a license and being told „no“!
To back all this up, Edinburgh is introducing a local „tourist tax“ of 5% tax per night on all guests in residential businesses – hotels, BnBs, AirBnBs etc. The platforms are required to charge it and give it to the council. So anyone trying to use the online platforms (AirBnB, Vrbo, Booking.com) without a license will show up when the booking platforms send the council the money from an unlicensed property. Some of the income from the 5% tax is already allocated to building housing association residential property for long-term rental.
It will take a very long time for all the old AirBnBs to come to an end. It’s not a perfect system and of course the absent landlords keep complaining about it and trying to take the council to court. We are still only about a year into the new rules. Sadly the slow way is often the only legal way without the rules and laws being challenged for years in expensive court cases.
Ban that shit
Why do hotels need hefty regulations and AirBNBs don’t? Just ban these idiot companies, seize their assets and cancel their tax numbers. easy.
I fly to Europe regularly and usually get an AirBnB. It’s the only logical choice if you want to save a bit of money. I recently spent a week there. The full 7 days costed about as much as 2 days in an equivalent hotel. Yes, I had to clean up after myself for an hour before I left, but an hour’s work is worth several hundred dollars.
Airbnb is cancer.
Incredible thread – Europe overregulated our industry to the point we became little more than a theme park for rich tourists and now people think the solution is even more regulation.
