of tourism. Walked past an outdoor exhibition at the centre for political education . The main focus of the exhibition was housing. Many aspects were covered including air BnB. The statistics tell that most properties are in the hands of private companies looking to make a profit. The problem is in most big cities accommodation prices are just about affordable. Letting empty properties be used in this way feels wrong to me. People need places to live that they can afford. Living wages are another issue. I spotted both of these on the same day. It is regulated here and seeing the key boxes is rare but in Edinburgh they were all over the city. I'm getting very tired of the relentless hollowing out of aspects if everyday life that result in things being more expensive for all.
