Do you think that cities exist just for you to travel to? A little insight: these places require _residents_ to run the restaurants and destinations you like to visit. These residents are quickly getting priced out and the deluge of STRs is making the issue worse.

Maybe, just maybe, the STRs could be taxed and that money goes towards building more housing.

Legalizing is one thing. You also need to do surveys, zoning, platting, build roads, connect utility services, storm drains, and other municipal infrastructure, some of which may need upgrading to support the new additions.
