It’s gotten out of control. I would say one in ten houses in my neighborhood are airBNBs.
It's disgusting because airbnbs in my area can have 50% occupancy and do better than a long term, meaning for about 180 days of the year that housing is just artificially decreased supply.
$200/night * 15 days = $3k/mo
