VVD ' pissed about ' to test with Airbnb in social housing

The VVD spokesman living in the second room is ' pissed about ' on the Corporation and on Mayor Eberhard van der Laan who Tuesday even though pleaded for Airbnb in social housing. "Are they completely mad in Amsterdam?"

Van der Linde reacts to news coverage in Het Parool about the trial that The Key is going to do with Airbnb in social housing. Mayor Van der Laan suggested Tuesday even though that social tenants should be able to take advantage of Airbnb because it only charges and not the lusts of mass tourism in the city.

Sensitive issue Airbnb in social housing is a sensitive issue, because the rent is kept artificially low with subsidies.

"I don't understand any of the statements by Van der Laan," responds Van der Linde. "How would we react if he the official residence on Airbnb and put the proceeds in his pocket? People with social housing can on Airbnb in a month their rent for a year. That move anymore. And that while the waiting lists for social housing only longer. This I can't explain to a police officer who also like in Amsterdam wants to live. "

The Amsterdam City Council also feels nothing for Airbnb in social housing and support the statements made by the Mayor either.
