Please read this thread to see 4 studies that show the link between housing shortages and short term holiday lets, and that corrects the other misinformation that this organisation continually promotes about figures for empty homes, even after being corrected. @BBCScotNine 1 of 6

Airbnb has aspirations to monopolise travel booking in locations. He slickly presents facts out of context on housing costs and boasts of #Edinburgh rolling back regulations. The funded lobbying of politicians by the industry was clearly worth every dollar phocuswire.com/news/online/ai…

The owners of short-term lets in Edinburgh that are not their main homes don't see that these properties could be homes for people who need them all year round. The city is awash with new student/STL blocks rather new blocks of homes being built. #HousingEmergency
