“It would be nice to see – instead of being a complaints-based system – the city actually has people looking through listings and checking up on properties to make sure they are licensed if they are being used in this way.” #shorttermrentals #peipoli #pei

Short term rentals (think AirBnB), push out residents in highly desirable areas. The results of this change can cause serious problems for cities.

Adam Something discusses this with an example of what happened in Prague at the beginning of the COVID-19 lock down.
