Making it illegal to rent property you don’t personally live on.
If someone wants to rent out their basement, or split their home into a duplex then they are creating housing and I have no problem with that.
Someone purchasing a home they have no intention living in so they can profit off someone else requiring shelter to live is a parasite.
I can’t quite imagine how hotels would work then. Generally, you’d say “Oh, we’ll make an exception for them” but then many people would try to skirt themselves into the exception.
Last I heard, many urban landlords are getting out of that business and becoming hotel owners via Airbnb. It helps to make sure that those that do stay in the business have a healthy supply of tenants.
Why are we pretending different dwelling classifications don’t already exist? Hotels are an entire classification unto itself, same with homesteads, which is what op is referring to

Do you think people who stay at a hotel have the same rights under the law as renters?
