A ritzy Long Island hot spot on the luxurious North Fork is threatening to cap the number of Airbnb and short-term rentals it allows to just 1% of homes thanks to insufferable influencers and tourists.   A proposal in the Town of Southold would drastically limit the number of short-term rental homes to under 120 across the town’s nine hamlets — an estimated 80% drop from the current market.   “We are struggling to regulate [the short-term rental market],” Southold Town Attorney Ben Johnson told Newsday.
