1. Or they could require permits for the short term rental properties

It sounds like they've got to many rentals. Permits with requirements, possibly for some properties having a minimum 30 day stay might free up some housing as some owners would drop out of the market.

Also, they need to differentiate between whole houses being rented versus people renting out rooms in their homes.

I don't see how putting a tax on the rentals "benefits places that can" be rented out full time.
