@ASSCnews I asked a friend once, how many people work at Edinburgh council? He told me the last he had heard it was about a third of them.
@SimonCalder Loath though I am to say “I told you so”, shutting down all the professional holiday let operators to create a vast unregulated black market was always going to end badly. independent.co.uk/travel/airbnb-…
@FabulousFidel @rock_shamrock @Edinburgh_CC @oasis @liamgallagher @NoelGallagher @mainlyoasis @oasisMania @jk_rowling @SaveSCScotland @ASSCnews All funds that went to judicial reviews sat in lawyers own accounts. It never went anywhere outside of this. STL Solutions completely separate, but has ultimately led to them initiating JR3 so far spending around 20 days of input for on this case for free.
@FabulousFidel @rock_shamrock @Edinburgh_CC @oasis @liamgallagher @NoelGallagher @mainlyoasis @oasisMania @jk_rowling @SaveSCScotland @ASSCnews 50% approximately went to JR2 after expenses repaid. This allowed everyone to continue to operate without automatic requirement for planning permission. Otherwise most would have to close over a year ago. The remainder was used (after vote with supporters) for further legals .
@BBCandrewpicken The data in your article is incorrect. There are nowhere near 9000 “airbnbs” in Edinburgh. (BBC brand advertising?) If there was, there wouldn’t be the extremely prices currently seen. The reality is around 2000, under 1% of all housing stock and not enough to meet demand.
@FionaCampbell74 @Ivan_McKee @st_alliance @ASSCnews Well done for all your efforts on this issue.
@PLACEEdinburgh The ASSC does not advocate to remove homes. 0.6% of property in Edinburgh is available for short term self catering use - the ASSC advocates to meet this demand. Lack of homes and rents are due to a lack of home building. When more homes are delivered, prices/ rents decrease.
Strange - No rent controls or short term let controls required? “But a development boom and new policies encouraging *housing density* have sent vacancy rates soaring.” Scotland take notice. @PaulMcLennan7 @SaveSCScotland
@cath31321673 @Gfunk_710 @cllr_jenkinson No they aren’t great in many areas, more needs to be done.
@Gfunk_710 @cllr_jenkinson Very different problem. Unintentional accidents as described can also occur, they are probably something we can do without with the caveat we have good public displays.
@cllr_jenkinson Makes sense. Having lived in Sydney for some time I don’t recall anyone having a need to buy fireworks or making an issue of not being able to buy them. Yet fantastic public displays all year round. police.nsw.gov.au/contact_us/enq…
@rock_shamrock @cllrcammyday @Edinburgh_CC @SaveSCScotland I was also at an event last night & this is where the real conversations about Scottish tourism are happening... - visionaries - bringing together communities - data driven - the smartest minds - three judicional reviews won - purpose driven - deeply inspiring
This does not include privately owned properties. So the total number of empty properties across the city is MUCH higher.
8000 empty properties in the city? Where are these? Why can't they be brought back into use?
@ClareEdinburgh @cllrcammyday @Edinburgh_CC @SaveSCScotland Fantastic event - our community is stronger than ever in the fight against the unlawful blanket ban being forced on self-caterers! Never giving in to the injustice! Fantastic to speak to the amazing @FionaCampbell74 & @Edinburgh_flex - inspirational @SaveSCScotland @Ivan_McKee
@rock_shamrock @ClareEdinburgh @cllrcammyday @Edinburgh_CC @SaveSCScotland @FionaCampbell74 @Ivan_McKee Thanks for coming. Good to see everyone in person for a change. 120 attendees
@theSpurtle @NickSherrard @oldtownrez @thecockburn Short term lets being a reason for lack of housing has been debunked, when only 0.8% of dwellings are STLs. What is severely impacting housing is nimbyism and misguided policies discouraging investment. An anti tourism agenda is an extension of this. scottishhousingnews.com/uploads/Econom…
@theSpurtle @NickSherrard @oldtownrez @thecockburn As David has pointed out, claims of ‘hollowed out communities’ are false. The Old Town will always be a tourist draw, there happens to be a giant castle there. Claims by them and others that they are looking for ‘balance’ appear to be disingenuous when data not used or collected

@kemp1888 @AngusNeilson1 @GildedLily13 @Edinburgh_CC @scotgov @SaveSCScotland My cleaner on video here: news.stv.tv/east-central/s… Total rubbish to infer zero hour contracts etc, they are self employed local to Edinburgh females who value the flexible working hours during school hours. They earn around £25-£30 an hour.
