Valencia just did something no other European city has done. It didn't cap STR's by nights.
It capped them by population.
Here's the new rule, approved this month:
→ Holiday homes can't exceed 2% of housing stock in any neighbourhood
→ Total tourist accommodation can't exceed 8% of registered residents per district
→ Only 15% of holiday accommodation can sit on ground floors
Every regulation we've seen until now targets the same lever nights.
30 in Amsterdam (dropping to 15 in some neighbourhoods from April).
90 in Paris (down from 120 last year).
90 in Vienna.
The direction of travel has always been the same: tighten the number, add a decimal place of enforcement, repeat.
Valencia…
