You seem to completely disregard the fact that freeing up "a few units here and there" will have a material impact that lessens the need for immediate building of more houses in already overpopulated areas. I'm not saying, by any stretch, that we shouldn't build but obfuscating the issue with another does not help. The short term rental market is an issue for a lot of people.
