Last week, Premier David Eby announced legislation to turn standalone short-term rentals like Airbnbs into much-needed long-term housing for people.

Today, Kevin Falcon proposed amendments that would allow investors to operate standalone short-term rentals and would exempt massive geographic areas, including downtown Vancouver.

Those two changes would effectively gut the bill.

Kevin Falcon also opposes the speculation tax, the cap on rent increases, and he voted against legislation to set housing supply targets in municipalities.

Video of Premier David Eby responding to Falcon’s amendments is available here.
