“A crackdown on short-term rentals would allow companies like Marriott and Hilton to raise room rates even higher. Even worse, D.C. would need to spend more than $100 million to enforce these new regulations on residents — including losing tax revenue earned from short-term rentals.
Imagine what the District could do if it spent $350 million on affordable housing rather than on this new handout to big hotels.”
