1638328719805763588 | @b1gfez @brianjaffa @edfests @scotgov @Edinburgh_CC I disagree the STL licensing regime has only 21 licensed properties out of c 2000 operating. The majorty of the 2k are not expected to be licensed therefore the trend will be decline. Meanwhile over 9k properties remain empty.. thats a scandle that no one seems to care about. | 0 |

1638240805201518593 | @oldtownrez @brianjaffa @edfests @scotgov @Edinburgh_CC What's lacking, from the point of view of the arts, isn't Airbnbs that charge five grand for the month. Its the affordable spaces that can no longer be found because the city is rammed tight all year round, so there's no slack to expand for August. | 0 |

1638088473381928961 | @brianjaffa @edfests As of today there are only 21 licensed self catering homes in the entire city. Its a new HQ and the global hotel chains to house visitors next year. Well done @scotgov and @Edinburgh_CC for not supporting the arts through your STL licensing scheme. #saveselfcatering | 3 |
