    Probably.
    A similar approach is under discussion even where I live and everyone seems to think that forbidding the “short rent” (as it is called here) will magically put all these apartament on the market for “long rent”, lowering the prices.

    Until it is not understood that (well, at least here) AirBnB is not the cause but the result the problem will never be solved.
