The EU focuses on regulating online reviews because it does not have the legal competence to regulate housing affordability or STR saturation

If they have no bread (affordable housing and reasonable rents), let them eat brioche (reliable online STRs reviews)

Housing is not an EU competence under Articles 3, 4, or 6 TFE
