I wonder how many properties would be opened up to renters if it was banned. There's at least 4 right near the intersection I'm at in Wash Square West and it'd be pretty sweet of those were rentable.

There are also several on my block. I thought they were regular rentals but when I looked up their company and couldn't find it, I realized they are probably a short term rental.

We need more housing! Ban airbnb. Residential and Commercial Vacancy taxes. Change zoning to be able to build 8 story buildings with no parking anywhere in the city. No size limits next to el, bsl, or regional rail with 20% of units at 60-120 AMI.
