It is one small part of the total issue.
Here in CO, 10 years ago they but restrictions on Condo building so for over a decade you had no one building condos.
We also have a lot of protected land so it limits where you can build.
Regardless of "flippers" this limit on building new condo units has but us at a huge shortage of multi-family units and across the whole country a shortage of about 1 Million multi-family units.
Governments need to get out of housing.
Tiny Homes are banned in most states because the size of them falls under "slum lord" laws.
Flippers affected housing supply a little.
Air BnB affected housing supply a bit.
BUT you can't stop progress. Air BnB will never go away and people should be able to do what they want with their property.
Single Family homes vs condos vs Tiny Home communities needs to be looked at.
Basically Governments with policy are affecting the supply side far more than a few Air BnB investors.

Yes, and gov't is slow and always several years behind the curve on regulation changes. Here in South FL, all they build is big apartment complexes, rarely do you see any single family communities being built.

Interesting that in South FL has very few single family homes.
I wonder how much of this is a density city/rural concept.
In the 16 years I have been here it has gotten denser and denser and traffic thicker and thicker. Guess we are aiming for city mode.
