    That would increase hotel prices, making hotel owners purchase more land and build hotels until the equilibrium price is reached

    It’s a short term fix that eventually loses to market forces

      Even if it ends in more hotels, hotels fit more people and supply more jobs than the equivalent space in houses. For temporary lodging houses don’t make sense.

        We should build large apartment buildings, actually. And I don’t mind temporary housing in an apartment building, I lived in one for a month.
