Let's allow richer-than-us foreigners to come to our city, buy all the houses, and then keep them empty to make tax-free money through air-bnb.

Fuck the locals, there's tourists that want to enjoy the sun in the summer and arabs that need to invest their petrol dollars.

You don't make a lot of money through AirBnB if you are keeping the place empty.

But you can make more per month than renting, even if it's empty for most of the days.
