Greece Joins Spain, Hungary, France, Netherlands, And Portugal In Freezing Short-Term Rental Listings Amid Housing Crisis, Creating Major Shake-Ups In The European Tourism Landscape And Local Housing Markets https://www.byteseu.com/1838019/ #Europe #EuropeanTravelNews #FranceTravelNews #Greece #GreeceTravelNews #HousingCrisis #HungaryTravelNews #NetherlandsTravelNews #overtourism #PortugalTravelNews #ShortTermRentals #SpainTravelNews #TravelAlert #TravelNews

The EU focuses on regulating online reviews because it does not have the legal competence to regulate housing affordability or STR saturation
But Europeans need affordable homes, not review systems that primarily benefit platforms

If they have no bread (affordable housing and reasonable rents), let them eat brioche (reliable online STRs reviews)

Housing is not an EU competence under Articles 3, 4, or 6 TFE

The EU openly acknowledges the housing crisis — but under the EU Treaties, housing is not an EU competence

Has Ireland’s tourist board (Regulation (EU) 2024/1028) just killed my Airbnb (in Australia)?

Νights spent in short-stay accommodation booked via online platforms such as Airbnb, Booking, Expedia, and Tripadvisor within the EU from 2018 to 2024 (ANNUAL)

Nights booked via platforms grew from 442M to 854M
That’s a 93% increase in six years, despite a historic collapse in 2020

Platforms are now central to EU tourism

Europe has become the largest short-term rental (STR) market globally

Holiday rentals brace for change – “we need more rules,” EU’s housing commissioner

Από το 2011 που επεκτάθηκε στην Ευρώπη η Airbnb η @EUCommission την άφησε ΑΝΕΞΈΛΕΓΚΤΗ

Θέλει η ΕΕ, 14 χρονιά μετά, να την ρυθμίζει;
(με τον co-founder της πλέον στην κυβέρνηση Τραμπ)

Πόσα πρόστιμα της επέβαλε ( η ΕΕ όχι τα κράτη-μέλη) 14 χρόνια;

Η Airbnb είναι η επιδραστικότερη online εταιρία σε δεκάδες τομείς της πραγματικής ζωής, όμως!
Ένωσε τουρισμό, real estate, κατασκευές, τοπικές οικονομίες, ήταν όμως αχόρταγη και τα «έβαλε» με τοπικές κοινωνίες, κράτη, και φορολογικούς μηχανισμούς που έχουν την δυνατότητα να θέτουν νόμους και κανόνες!

Aussie suburbs bucking the property trend—some areas see price drops up to $167K in the last five years.
However, the article overlooks Victoria's proactive approach to housing supply. Since 2018, the state has implemented the Vacant Residential Land Tax (VRLT), targeting owners of vacant properties. From January 1, 2025, the VRLT expands statewide, aiming to encourage property owners to lease or sell unoccupied homes, thereby increasing housing availability.
Additionally, the Victorian Government has introduced a 7.5% levy on short-term accommodation platforms like Airbnb, effective from January 1, 2025. This measure aims to prioritise housing and long-term rentals, raising funds to support social and affordable housing initiatives.
These policies are part of a broader strategy to address housing affordability and availability in Victoria.

Algonac Introduces Short-Term Rental Ordinance 🏠

Algonac City Council has proposed new rules for short-term rentals to ensure safety, maintenance, and respect for residents. The ordinance, part of Chapter 10 of the city code, drew mixed feedback at the Aug. 19 meeting — with some calling it “a good first start” but lacking detail.

η Airbnb ξανά «απαντάει» στην ΕΕ!
Δυστυχώς η Αμερικάνικη εταιρεία είναι πλέον ανεξέλεγκτη και untouchable από τα όργανα της ΕΕ
Είναι οικονομική/τουριστική πολίτικη, αδυναμία, φόβος, συμφωνία για τους Αμερικάνικους δασμούς;
Τώρα το νέο trend είναι το «family-friendly accommodation»

this is an annoyingly narrated video, but listen to what this dude is saying. some of it is speculation, but listen to what he’s saying.

a lot to unpack here™ but one aspect, if those percentages of residential properties held as short-term rentals figures he quotes are accurate, it’s really to an immoral degree. #HousingCrisis #ShortTermRentals

Today I signed letters expressing the city's support for six state bills involving wildfire preparedness, emergency relief, short-term rentals, and alcohol and drug treatment centers. Working with our partners at @calcities, which lobbies on behalf of all of the state’s 400+ cities, we hope to see all six proposals enacted into law. There are more bills coming – will keep you posted on these.

Does anyone have links to data on the effects of #ShortTermRentals on neighborhoods?

A house in my neighborhood is seeking an exemption to be a short term rental, and there's going to be a public meeting about it.

I think it'd like to speak against the approval, but I want to be really confident in what I'm saying.

PS: Any advice for how to speak at these public meetings would be appreciated too.

Thanks in advance.

@mathcolorstrees I was already shunning #Airbnb for their outrageous and disingenuous response to #overtourism in #shorttermrentals and resulting housing crises in many cities and islands around the world - "the local governments should just build more housing". As if Airbnb wouldn't soak up any of the new housing, too. Any such new housing paid by local taxpayers, would be located far from peoples' work & take years to build. So… great solution!…. …Wankers!

Tell me how most of these homes bought up by property speculators looking to maximise the return on their investments won't end up as short term rental listed on platforms like #airbnb and #bookingdotcom. Because I've got a bridge to sell you, too.
