No, holiday lets are not legit.

The world has survived most of its existence without needing holiday lets.

Because it has hotels.

Hotels that do not take up residential properties and pay appropriate taxes, etc. and prevent overtourism whixh has become one of the biggest issues in most tourist places.

You can eliminate holiday let’s and the world will do just fine. Any legitimate loss will be minor.



Exactly. There are some places in the world that only rich people able to purchase multi million dollar houses should be allowed to be. We'll allow a few proles in to work for us and put them in subsided housing away from us so they know their place.

The only problem is these pesky single digit millionaires thinking they can somehow come here to our neighborhood for a month. I paid good money to live here so I wouldn't have to be around those upjumped peasants, but now airbnb rentals are letting them in by the thousands and ruining it. If you can't pay $1000 a night for a hotel, you're not the sort that belongs here. We'll call it "overtourism" to make it seem like they're the problem and not our own insufferable snobbery.


Would you allow deer camps in your housing utopia?
