But the land lords told us Airbnb doesn't effect rental prices and actually let's people afford homes!

    Okay, but who. I want the name of a specific person or organisation and a link to where they said that. Because it's such a stupid statement that I'm not going to just take someone's word that someone was dumb enough to say it or thought people would be dumb enough to believe it.

    It was all over the BC online forums when the province banned short term rentals outside primary residence.

    There were op eds, bad studies, lying companies etc. Here a few from quick internet search

    A crappy study trying to gaslight people. This was all over. https://www.biv.com/news/real-estate/airbnbs-dont-cause-residential-rent-increases-conference-board-8273746

    Air bnb makes the argument they aren't responsible https://www.airbnb.ca/e/closerlook

    Arguing it lowers costs https://news.ncsu.edu/2024/10/airbnb-and-housing-costs/
