We need an Edinburgh-specific term for the form of late stage capitalism that facilitates STL landlords who’ve paid for blue ticks asking for Equality Impact Assessments to Air BnB their second homes for circa 20k a month in the month of august during a housing crisis 🫠

@ruth_gilbert The new ‘Hot’ asset Ruth PBSA proliferates all over Glasgow and Edinburgh. No Landlord licence needed. Used as STL in the summer but exempt from Legislation. Seemingly in Wales some have been then turned into residential units.

@ruth_gilbert I paid for mine because I got bored of fannying about trying to split my messages up when dealing with my detractors spouting falsehoods. £11.99 well spent. Have you tried looking for anywhere? Seems to be lots of availability. Certainly more than there are self catering …

@ruth_gilbert I wish people would fully research! EdinCityCouncil is banning private self-caterers to benefit their dodgy deals renting the tax-payer owned properties they oversee to non-UK tax payers to operate self-catering in aparthotels ££s going out of Scotland. EdinCC not providing homes
