Here is what I mean. And this map is from a year ago, but it's all I can access at the moment. It's twice as bad now. The citizens have almost declared war, because like cruise ships, AirBnb landlords don't pay taxes, and more than 60% are operating illegally. I'm not trying to criticize how people travel, but I do want to substantiate that if you are going to Venice and are staying in an AirBnb, you probably want to be quiet about it.

The headline means, "3,000 ghost places to stay," that is, they are all operating illegally, under the radar. The last map I read now has the number at 15,000. This is not a healthy phenomenon. The sub-title of the article means, "the war against the tourists."
