Short-term rentals cause a long-term mess

Apartments vanish—just a click, just a swipe,
Investors rejoice as the rents climb sky-high.
Residents wander, their leases denied,
Because someone’s “side hustle” needs a pied-à-terre to advertise.
Neighborhoods hollow, just shells for the tourists,
But who needs a home when you’ve got five-star reviews?
