Your thesis appears to be
that the council have spent an awful lot of money doing up the city centre (and I'll admit that it's very nice), but not much on the outer regions.
I don't see why that's the fault of the Edinburgh Festival organisers. They're not in control of council finances. Further to that, unless you can show that the Edinburgh Festival is a net drain on the local economy, I don't see how encouraging it to leave will change the situation for the better.
Nor are they in control of AirBnB and their predatory (sorry, disruptive) pricing model. That is a year-round problem, and indeed a problem globally, and is by no means restricted to the one month a year that the Edinburgh Festival is on.
