@AirbnbCitizen @Airbnb @cityofbarrie @Mayor_Jeff How does the accomodation tax pay for lost residential housing? How does it compensate taxpayers for incentives given to build/buy residential properties. How does converting residential housing into hotels align with the social planning goals for the city? #AirbnbIsNotTheAnswer
