Every time a real estate investor cries, an angel gets their wings.

Yeah, I'm not sure 'speculators' have many friends out there in the general populace.

Yeah, let them make the financial decision to sell or rent out long term properly. Use Airbnb to curb rental law is just asking for law to adjusted and fix it. The legislators even though most are also in the business of keep the re price high, but their heads are also tied to make housing affordable. I hope there is no loop holes in it and someone/corp have capital just scoop up units and put all of them under a tourism business or something.
