I don’t know about you guys but Stray Kids Mixtape #3 For you made me small so big like seriously.

These boys are honestly the greatest and they deserve so much love and attention. I have never felt more proud to be in a fandom than in Stayz.

Im apart of Army, Monbebe, iKONics, Carat (newly), and so many more and I am so proud to be apart of them.

But right now being a Stayz is beyond great for me. These boys give me the energy and happiness to go on about my day.

For you really helped me today I have been feeling so down.

City of Sydney to investigate Airbnb ban for investment properties

The city has asked staff to investigate ways to ban investors from listing entire properties on platforms such as Airbnb following a similar

"So ubiquitous are short-term rentals in Sydney that the Sirius building, the brutalist harbourside block once home to 79 public housing units, now includes a luxury Airbnb on offer for more than $1000 a night.

The proposed ban, which was brought as a motion from the Greens, would affect only entire property listings that are non-primary residences, including investment properties. Those renting out their primary home while they’re away, or listing parts of their residence for short-term stays, would not be impacted."

--

This proposal is just splitting hairs and would be hard to enforce with little effect on housing supply.

Comments:

"If a property is a full time short term rental then it should fulfil all of the requirements of a commercial property, because that is what it is."

"We have a genuine housing crisis - a NY type restriction is essential."

"If I want to create a commercial income stream by putting a pie cart in my front yard I would need a huge raft of licences, fees, inspections etc. and the Taxation Department would take a keen interest in my operation. But when I want to create a commercial income stream by running a hotel via AirBNB......Crickets."

The actual solution is to ban these platforms completely nationwide (not just within certain councils or states) and force anyone wishing to rent out their house or unit to register and operate as a hospitality business.

Just because it's "your property" doesn't mean the government can't regulate it. You can't operate just any business on your premises; you can't raze your house and just start drilling for oil.

The pledge we've been longing to hear from politicians:

"I want to see house prices come down, just like I want to see energy and food prices come down. Housing is not and never should be just for investment, housing is for people."

Short-term rentals are often blamed for exacerbating the housing crisis. Now the regulation is catching up

The rise of short-term holiday rentals like Airbnb and Stayz have changed the way we travel, but they've also faced backlash over concerns t

"

Many places have begun to regulate short-stay rentals to encourage owners to return their properties to the long-term rental market.

Nicole Gurran, a professor of urban and regional planning at Sydney University, has been studying this for almost a decade said the link has been well established.

"There's robust research evidence now internationally that the more short-term rentals in an area, the tighter a rental market, and you see that tight rental market flow on in terms of higher rents and higher house prices," she told 7.30.

"The research evidence shows too, that when you take short-term rentals out of the market and return them back to the long-term rental supply, that rents also fall in an area."

The short-stay companies like Airbnb and Stayz believe they've become an easy target and are a scapegoat for more the complex long-term issues that contribute to housing availability.

From Stayz:

"...it's important to remember that regulating short-term rental accommodation in isolation will not solve the housing crisis."

To which the world has responded:

BULLSHIT

Here's the proof:

This Is the True Scale of New York’s Airbnb Apocalypse

A law meant to crack down on short-term rentals in New York City took effect Tuesday. Thousands have dropped off the map, but there are stil

"

THE NUMBER OF short-term Airbnbs available in New York City has dropped 70 percent after the city began enforcing a new law requiring short-term rental operators to register their homes. There are thousands more listings that could be unregistered.

August: 22,000 NYC listings

September: 6,841 NYC listings

Some short-term listings have been switched to long-term listings,

The number of long-term rentals jumped by about 11,000 to a total of 32,612 from August 4 to September 5.

"

That uptick in long-term rentals is exactly the behavior NYC wanted to see.

Good for you NYC!

Housing is for people. Not for investment.

As for Airbnb and Stayz who have desperately tried to spin this debate as though they are simply scapegoats for bad government planning - we can all clearly see that these companies have ALWAYS been part of the problem.

Can you imagine an arsonist or a murderer putting up such a ridiculous defense when all the evidence points to their guilt?

When a tobacco company is found to be selling products that cause cancer, or a chemical company is found to be polluting the local aquifer and poisoning nearby residents, when a big pharma company is found to be paying doctors to over-prescribe addictive opioids - when the court of public opinion finally sees the evidence that those companies are at fault - those companies have to pay.

And in those cases where RJ Reynolds, Dow Chemicals, and Purdue Pharma were found guilty - NONE of them were so pathetic as to try to play it off like they are just a scapegoat.

That's how pathetic Airbnb and Stayz look right now.

Worse than Big Tobacco.

Worse than Big Pharma.

Airbnb / Stayz are at the root of a failed experiment that has distorted the housing market over the past 10 years and they need to be stopped.

Forcing low and middle income people and families out of long-term housing, forcing countless others to pay obscene increases in rent due to lack of supply, pushing people to live out of their cars or on the streets.

These companies have caused untold suffering and mental anguish - many of those impacted likely resorting to drugs/alcohol or self-harm to escape the pressures.

Yet Airbnb / Stayz claim to be unfairly demonized in this story?

Fuck that noise.

Take em down.
