Amsterdam is going to further restrict hosts to renting only 30 nights per year...sounds pretty bad for Amsterdam hosts. Ridiculous.

If this were just pertaining to those renting out entire apartments, it might be somewhat reasonable, but from the article it's not clear that this is the case. Without stating specifically that it applies only to entire apartments, I'm led to believe that this limit applies to in-home hosts as well who only rent a room out in their house or apartment. (Maybe someone who knows more about the rule can clarify)
I always find these limits on # of nights a host can rent per year to be so ridiculous and offensive. In effect it's a city telling a businessperson that they cannot run their business full time, they can only have a fractional business. With what other type of business does the government limit you on how much business you can do?
