And other cities. Barcelona springs to mind, as does Bath. I believe Lisbon has taken some action to reduce airbnb lets.

Absolutely agree.
It's part of the general tide of taking things away from people, smaller houses and now part time housing where your home is turned into a time share.

I'm sure there will be people whom circumstances channel them into this and I wonder how long it will take for "If a happens then b, we will take over the management of your property" clauses to appear.
