So bad, that you often cannot even have a neighborhood café, corner pub, or local shop in modern suburbs. So bad, that you need to take the car to do shopping. For someone from western Europe, this is mind blowing insane: you need to take the car to buy your milk!
Banning short-term rental properties feels like a quick bandaid to gain political points, not a solution to a market with a large demand.
