Great, so some renters convert into owners, but net occupancy doesn't change, rent doesn't go down, and the market gets worse because there's less incentive to build more.

Then what?

If there's less chance of people being able to make bank on housing by buying up properties to rent out short term at $500 a night then housing costs go down even if supply doesn't go up. Those people are way more willing to pay $50k over asking than someone who will be paying the mortgage and living there full time.
