A: Hey there! Guess what? Osaka's mayor just announced something interesting.
B: Really? What is it?
A: Well, he wants to stop accepting applications for private lodging places in certain zones of the city. You know, those popular spots for tourists.
B: Why is that? I thought more lodgings would be good!
A: Yeah, same here! But there have been too many complaints from locals about noise, waste, and other issues. They can't even reach the operators sometimes.
B: Wow, that's a bummer for tourists. What now?
A: The mayor said they're going to check on existing places and see if there are any problems. He also mentioned they need to revise the system. They haven't been strong in monitoring or giving guidance yet.
B: So, when does this start?
A: They'll decide soon before a meeting with the central government in November. For now, let's enjoy Osaka as it is!
