WORKED EXAMPLE

Test both sides

An example to adapt, not a script to memorize.

For

Limits may keep more homes available to long-term residents in places with heavy visitor demand.

Against

Hosts and local businesses may lose income, and a broad cap may punish occasional rentals.

Question to decide: What evidence would show the cap is helping residents rather than merely moving demand?
