@bordergroves Developers only want to build housing that maximizes their profits. Here are nearly 1.25 million examples. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

The latest research shows upzoning/deregulation leading to a 0.8% increase in housing supply over 3-9 years. An effective ban on short-term rentals could accomplish a greater supply increase much sooner. #YIMBY where will you focus your efforts?

@chutainz Just need to build more. If we legalize windowless. Minimize hallways. One staircase. Infinite density!

@chutainz But how will developers find time to put in all that housing when they're still working on 1.25 million already approved projects in just Ontario, CA alone? Maybe zoning is not the issue? Maybe developer's greed is?

@chutainz A small upzoning nets a small increase in supply. If you want large increases in housing units then you need to legalize large amounts of new housing.

@chutainz Air BnB must pay donations of more $$. Than Hotel chains to the elected.

@chutainz @ValerieRoss14 As long as there are predatory Institutional Investors in the picture, no quantity of housing will counter UNaffordability.

@chutainz An example of YIYBY getting their way and then the developer deciding to sell the lot. Note that this lot is not primarily marketed as an entitled project but as an EV parking lot. #425broadway loopnet.com/Listing/425-Br…

@chutainz Ban on short term rentals would also benefit low paid workers in hospitality business. @damienISgoodmon

@chutainz And ban STRs on what basis? People have a right to use their property as they choose.
