| Abstract: |
Firstly, the authors describe the organization of the housing and real estate finance system; secondly, they clarify the effects of the Great Financial Crisis on housing markets; third, they delve into the impact of Airbnb and STRs on specific neighborhoods and housing; lastly, they outline the local regulatory initiatives. In Chapter Three, the authors highlight the negative externalities of the so-called "Airbnb Effect", such as, among others, housing rising prices and rents, racialized gentrification, and displacements of local residents. The book "Short-term Rentals and the Future of Housing" engages with this debate, elaborating on the extent to which STRs affect housing, neighborhoods, and communities with their disruptive effects.
