Rumors gov wants to ban AirBNB?

[Rich One]

In Santiago Chile, in exclusive buildings the HOA decided that Airbnb apartments could be rented, for say, one week minimum. And also a unit can be rented for a limited number of months per year . To discourage weekend rentals . Building Owners, claimed for security reasons, they want to know who is a tenant in the building..

Same in South Florida. Residents got tired of teenagers partying in the hallways late at night. These buildings got a bad reputation and resale prices dropped. But they don't want to ban Airbnb rentals outright because they provide extra income to some owners and the visitors support local restaurants and businesses.

more regulation is different than banning. I won't be surprised if the govt puts more regulation like elsewhere in the world, although those policies don't solve the problem either

I have read many stories of AirBB ruining neighborhoods. Out of control parties, rude and disrespectful guests. I wouldn't want these in my building.

Makes me happy I don't live in a popular barrio.

Is this really the case here? I mean I agree that in cities like Barcelona it is a big issue where for every local you have two tourists (I don't know the numbers, but the tourist / local population ratio must be extremely high). In other cities you have party people enjoying a weekend somewhere.

I think tourism here is very different here. Based on the geographic location (long travel from most places) and rather expensive flights I don't see BsAs being flooded by mass tourism, nor does it attract party people for a weekend.

This is spot on. I don't see how this is an issue in BA that exceeds the ability of a given building to restrict rentals.

If that's correct, then it's either hotel lobbying, or random government spewing. Perhaps a combination.
