Sustainable for whom? Certainly NOT for the people living in these communities, who clean those airbnbs, who can't find or afford a long term rental, (much less a home purchase), due to Airbnb's "success". Thanks for sharing great "tips" that only feed the greed frenzy and destroy communities. Please read Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth. There is a sustainable way to do this.

I haven't read the book, but listened to a podcast with her that was interesting. I'll read further
