Once again socialists look to use landlords/owners to subsidize low income renters. It has been proven that vacation rentals do not have an impact on local affordable housing, it is high real estate values. Vacation rentals defined are properties owned by an owner that uses their secondary home from time to time for personal vacation or business use. It would never be available for long term rentals yet places like the City of Vancouver action was to ban them from getting STR licences while allowing primary owners to get a STR licence for their suite in their house or laneway home (which would be typically long term rental housing). Geoff Meggs needs to answer why he thinks his very pro Air BnB law allows for this multinational to continue to operate while local vacation rental management companies and individual vacation rental owners are being told they are not allowed to have an STR licence.  True vacation rental properties account for less than 3% of the STR rental properties.
