Brussels presented a proposal for regulating local accommodation, such as Airbnb-type platforms, in the areas of the European Union facing the greatest housing pressure.
The measure aims to control short-term rental activity in areas where access to housing has become more difficult for local residents.
The European Commission justifies the initiative as a response to the growing problems of financial accessibility in housing in various European cities.
However, the proposal does not address the structural causes of the housing crisis on the continent, which include factors such as the scarcity of public housing construction, the increase in construction costs, and limitations in the real estate market.
