    Building more housing only reduces the cost of housing if you don’t allow all of it to be turned into air bnbs. We need to modernize zoning laws.

      The air bnb issue is the real problem, if they banned air bnb in santa fe it only can benefit the city

        It’s not air BNB itself that’s the issue. I don’t see much problem if you have a second house through inheritance or whatever you rent it out. I think the bigger problem we are facing is corporate landlords, limiting personal and corporate ability to own more than a few properties would solve more issues.

      This is a really good thing, it just doesn’t go far enough.

      If minimum wage is tied to cost of living it reduces the incentive to price gouge.
