canada is building housing like crazy, but also allowing massive immigration numbers, and airbnb is icing on the cake. Its not just one problem. But airbnb is garbage and should be banned.

The problem is not the hosts on Airbnb that are listing spare bedrooms or their vacation homes. It's corporations and ambitious individuals that are depleting the supply.
You ever see a hotel on a Tuesday? No one is there. Now stretch that across all the airbnbs in a city.
I don't understand how someone can't see how that isn't bad and is crating artificial scarcity. Homes are not hotels.
