That must apply to the vacancies as well, so doubling is still accurate.

Disengenous to say a vacancy in a house as a str room is the same as a vacancy in an apartment. The numbers need context.

No one is talking about shutting down room rentals, those aren't part of the problem, and are a small percentage of Airbnbs.

But they are included in the 2.5% of units which are STR. As are seasonal camps and other non year round dwellings fo saying banning STR will double the vacancy rate is incorrect because it ignore the fact that not ever STR could or would become a LTR.
