Do you honestly believe building new homes that are unoccupied 90 per cent of the year has no impact on housing affordability? Or that communities don’t lose something important when half the homes on every street are Airbnbs or owned by absentee landlords?
If I had the money, I’d own a vacation property. No doubt about it. But I wouldn’t pretend it was good for anyone but myself, or that it didn’t have real downsides for the wider society.
