I have to say this is one policy I agree with. Its not a good thing for whole streets in the very centre of cities to be used as short-term rentals. It makes whole communities undesirable to live in. It also distorts the housing market even pushing up sale prices because its so easy to flip a house to a short-term (never mind rental prices.) Besides they have an unfair advantage over hotels due to lack of regulation and much lower costs.

There can and possible should be some level of regulation on them, but that is a far cry from what he wrote.

"Unlock more homes for Canadians" Huh? What is causing the housing Crisis? The abundance of AirBNBs?

I agree it is not causing the housing shortage and 200,000 houses is not significant in the grand scheme of things, but I still think that in the areas where these are concentrated (in city centres and regular middle-class communities - the same places as hotels) they have a real negative affect on the area and they should be regulated.

I agree of course that he is using this policy to try and offload blame from himself for the housing crisis and the words crack-down on something that is an honest way of making a living is completely wrong. I just agree with the concept that it should be regulated and that it is contributing to some of the housing shortage in cities around the world.
