Why don’t you just go buy something and then calm down there is no grand conspiracy

I just read that the government are planning to buy up the excess airbnbs now. Also if they cant buy them they are going to try to get them on 25 year leases.

So they kill the value and earning power of these properties with rules and regulations and then swoop in to buy them cheaper themselves. If thats not market manipulation.
I still dont think they will get them as cheap as they think they will.

Anyway I think that if I lived beside what used to be an airbnb and is now council owned I wouldnt be happy with the new situation, if I got an anti social tenant in beside me who wouldnt be leaving after the weekend and would likely be there forever. I might wish for the return of rattling suitcase wheels the odd weekend. But then you could get a very quiet council tenant in there and it would be grand. Throw of the dice.
