## What Jamie wrote

I don't agree with the authors "recommendations" for Airbnb, they are in no way practical. However, I hadn't given much of any consideration to the impact to the real estate market as a result of Airbnb. 

> Our whole village is the same way. Nearly every property that comes up for sale is snapped up in days by a holiday rental company for far more money than any local family can afford to pay. If the trajectory continues — and there’s no indication that it won’t — there’s a good chance our local school will close before our child has a chance to attend.

The impact to house prices and inventory is something that cities need to think about.
