A few people have sent me, or brought my attention to, photos taken in this spot, noting the irony of the sign. I decided to go myself and take a closer look. I'm out of words so I'll just leave this here.
[Photo is of an encampment east of downtown with a For Sale sign from the City of Edmonton with the words Affordable Housing at the top of the sign.]

My spouse worked for a short-term rental company, an #AirBNB competitor, and wow did I hear an earful from them about the kinds of chaos these places can cause. One factor driving away the individual homeowner posting their extra 'crash space' online vs. the massive conglomerates is how little help the companies offer when something goes wrong (i.e. a renter sets off fireworks in your house while you're renting it out). Giant property owners can eat those kinds of losses and don't have sentimental attachment to their homes.
Excellent reporting here by Eva Ruth Moravec for @TexasObserver: https://www.texasobserver.org/short-term-rentals-airbnb-vrbo-neighborhoods/

Platforms like #AirBNB & VRBO cause massive messes across #Texas (and the globe). In #Fredericksburg, 1,900+ short-term units now comprise nearly 25 percent of the housing inventory.
In the cover story from our magazine, Eva Ruth Moravec looks at the big bucks these companies put into #cities, and the efforts to stem the chaos and costs they bring to residential neighborhoods: https://www.texasobserver.org/short-term-rentals-airbnb-vrbo-neighborhoods/
