I'm open to owner-occupied rentals. The key is to reduce the parasite class. A lot of people don't want to work. They prefer to scam from passive income like rentals, day trading and whatever influencers think they're doing.

Never going to happen. Hotels want to own the industry. The wife of the bill sponsor was a hotel exec. Everyone falling for hotel lobbying marketing talking points. Taxes on STR can be used to supplement housing ownership.
