If anyone’s wondering what the dude who sang “chocolate rain” is up to these days, he’s dropping absolute bangers about housing and he’s fucking right
@Daojoan yer we have the same issues in NZ as well. I woud also limit short term rental (airBNB) to only permit if the freehold title owners live on sight and are onsite during the stay. (Eg a farm can have an airBnB cabin but a townhouse or apartment in a city can’t be an AirBNB, a room within a home can be though)

@hishnash

Interesting idea!

Would you allow the situation where someone AirBnBs their _own_ house while they're away?

@unchartedworlds I don't consider that AirBnB but rather house sitting (typically you do not pay to do this... you are commonly intact paid to house sit, water plants, feed pets, etc).
