sigh. Does nothing to really address the massive housing shortage — AirBnBs are such a tiny sliver of the total stock and reflect a lack of affordable hotel space (which we also de facto banned the construction of in 2021 for stupid reasons). There is so much empty space above our buildings for more housing and instead we’re stuck in the mentality of rationing scraps while we are at the lowest rates of housing per-capita housing construction rates in 50 years. Extremely bleak.

Awful decision tbh. Gotta start expanding our sidewalks more, cars are killing this city.
