'Venice has been lost, but we can still save Florence:' Italy's fight against Airbnb

• 30% of homes in central Florence, Italy, are listed on Airbnb, the Wall Street Journal said.
• Florence's rents have risen 42% since 2016 and locals, no longer able to afford it, are leaving.
• The city has banned new rentals in the city center, but many worry it doesn't go far enough.

Florence's historic center is teeming with history and art from the picturesque Duomo cathedral to Michaelangelo's masterwork sculpture of David.
