As the artificial land shortage created by poor land use decisions further clears out the neighborhoods. Triplexes become duplexes or even single family residences, flats are converted to illegal hotels in the form of permanent airbnb units, Americans and other foreigners buy second homes they straight up let sit vacant half the year, and all the rest.

David… I’m not sure your assessment is really accurate, but you’ve made your opinion known. I agree that poor land use decisions are made, but it’s due to a more systemic issue… Such as the way municipal revenues are collected and the lack of a comprehensive regional plan. Or lack of enforcemwnt of such a plan. Maybe this is what you’re referring to?
