But you seem to be ignoring the fact that running an airbnb costs much more for the owner than renting.

What are you basing this on? Airbnb charges cleaning fees. Any structural maintenance has to be paid for regardless of whether the home is a long or short term rental. And airbnb has insurance for serious damage.

If airbnb were much more expensive than long term rentals, it wouldn't exist.

I'm pretty done too, you're trying to claim airbnbs don't do exactly what they do and that the answer is to somehow add more of them so that tourists pay about what locals pay, which is utter silliness.
