Curbing Airbnb's expansion in the city (lemmy.world)

I'm surrounded by Airbnbs where I live. Has any one had any experience with halting the expansion of Airbnbs? Politically or legally even. Saw one host operating a few dozen listings in Seattle which is outrageous (probably found a loophole). Can't have that with a housing crisis.

Any tips help! Thanks!

No Kings Mass Protest SATURDAY (June 14th) (lemmy.world)

Rally and march, starting at Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. More info: https://seattleindivisible.com/events/2025/6/1/seattle-no-kings-june-14th/

In case you haven't to been to one of these protests before, this is a big, mainstream one. Think strollers and old ladies, although I'm sure there will be some signs with naughty words on them. So it's a good way to ease into protests and do something if you've finally gotten to the breaking point after seeing the shit going on in L.A.

EDIT: Seattle Times, which is known for undercounting protests, reports that this one was >70k people. That's over 9% of the population of Seattle! (Of course not everyone there was from Seattle.) SPD also reports the march itself was 1.5 miles long.
