I absolutely agree we need to decommodify housing.
I don't think there's infinite supply for airbnb's though.

If it's not airbnb then it's rentals at extortionate rate, but the bottom line is the same - new houses will just be used to make the rich more money, not provide more affordable housing.
As for not believing there are enough houses, it's easy enough to look up, here are articles about it in US, UK, OZ, just to provide some examples..
